Well mine does not look like that one either.

What the heck is that at the bottom right corner?

A sticker?

And at $276 USD plus about $28 shipping

...

Is it just me or does that seem a bit on the high side?

If that is a normal price, then I have a Near Mint Copy (With no stickers) that I would be willing to part with for a little less than that.

Free shipping in the USA and $5 USD off on Worldwide shipping too.

The spine is cut off on the scan. It looks exactly like my copy. Mondie is a quality seller. No issue there.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

What's different about your copy?

I think its a business card on the bottom so he can identify the image if someone steals it.

Yep, $276 is very ambitious. I would have figured $200 at the high end for an NM copy (with the additional TSR letter) but maybe $125-$150 in an open auction.

Mondiversi is a creditable seller, I know the guys personally and have purchased several things from them at conventions, so I'm convinced there is no fraud there. However, as usual with Mondiversi, they tend to make extremely high prices. This seems no exception.

Yep, I figured it might be some sort of Picture ID/Theft prevention deal.
Otherwise my copy looks just like that one.

Had no idea that these were valued that high now.

I think copies less than NM would sell for less. Middle range copies in the $50-$75 range?

Guess when I see something up for auction, I like to see all of it, with a good scan or photograph. I have never bought anything from him/them so I can only judge by what I see.

Yep, I think there will be bids on it now.

Heck; at that price Troll and Toad will bid on it.

And if they win, they will probably relist it a week after they get it at $2,500 give or take ....

With a single photo taken of a stock copy that they have had on a shelf for years.... which is still on the same shelf no doubt.

The price changed AGAIN. Now to $950. The seller seems really nervous about his pricing...caveat emptor, as they say

Some lots. No wonderous items, but very low price for such lots.

I've watched a bunch of them from this seller. Its at least his 5th or 6th copy in a row.

Yes, this time it ended not very high, only $79. But the shipping cost for overseas order is very very expensive, $40 ! Do you think it's a normal shipping cost for such a flat box which is not very heavy ?
I was ready to bid over $79 but not to pay $40 for the shipping cost.

I guess it depends on whether you want it to stay at the thinness it was when you bought it, or if you do not mind that it gets thinner during shipping... :lol:

$40 for shipping overseas in a box big enough to include additional padding for more protection for what is already a VERY fragile Box set does not seem overly high to me.

I seldom see one of those listed without any damage at all.

Boxed and well padded that's not going to be less than 1 kilo; quite probably more.
With the required eBay traceability that's pretty much no change from $35 to Western Europe via USPS if paid at a Post Office and slightly under-insured: fully insured (including covering the postage cost) would be closer $40.
