Might be a good buy. Three sets of geo's, two look to be in shrink. I've seen that set go for $80 on its own before. No resale proffit to be had, but for a collector, a pretty good buy.

Chuckle. Lately, I buy too much and pay too much too. Used to be, I didn't buy much and paid too little. This collecting field is a three ring circus most of the time. But, to clarify one comment. I have only ever had this Acaeum ID. I am sure Foulfoot can confirm that if it's ever actually relevant.

It will be pretty funny to see sellers overprice their box sets for a while.

I agree, though it Looked to me that all 3 of the Geos are SWed.
The Box Set is a 1st Print and looks nice.
And the Book of Treasure Maps does look like a 1st Print.
Plus it is likely the M&T Assortment is a 1st Print as well.
Some Dice are there too. (NICE) :lol:

From some folks comments it appears (To me) that Some of you think in terms of resale value for lots like this.

That final price was (of course) higher than My highest bid and by a good bit too.
But I would not say that the final price was over the top for a REAL collector.
Just over my top....... but then I am no true collector, I am but a dabler.

Wonder why he won't budge off the reserve? You would think that he would understand that a price like that is most likely unattainable with the global economy still in shambles. Nice copy though.

I just noticed the seller dropped the reserve price to $1251.

fair enough, seems a hell of a lot to me, but then I'm not a collector and much like Gnat, a dabbler..

(in fact, I'm thinking I've actually confused $ with £ on that one specifically...) :roll:

sorry

All round good buy. I threw in a snipe bid of $120 but got pipped at the post. Nice win.

Troll & Toad have a cheap copy of Dungeon #112 up...

And there are some real bargains on mint copies of Dungeon #124 for US buyers...

And a minty Dungeon #139 still going cheap...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dungeon-Magazine-Issue-139-2006-Still-in-Shrinkwrap_W0QQitemZ390059528094QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMagazines?hash=item5ad15c0f9e&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177&_trkparms=240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

For those who have been living on an island in the back of beyond for the past three years, these are the Maure Castle issues. Dungeon #112 is an entire issue dedicated to RJK's rewrite of Maure Castle, written 1E by RJK and then converted to 3E by Erik Mona I believe. If you only ever buy one 3rd Edition dungeon, this should be it. Dungeon #124 and #139 have Maure Castle dungeon levels 4 and 5 in them. There were to be more, but alas Paizo yanked it.

Good deals, but problem is they are listed as "Used" with stock photos, so in the T&T world this could mean anything from minty fresh to "Used for toilet paper last weekend".

Surely you mean WotC yanked it? It wasn't Paizo's choice to end the magazines, although they were given grace to have enough issues to finish the Savage Tide AP.

Probably means Paizo - they were in charge of putting the magazines together and chose not to include any more.

Did Paizo receive any additional material from RJK?

So far, we've been doing one to coincide with the start of each new Adventure Path since Age of Worms. In any event, we don't have the next one officially on the schedule yet.

Note that was February 22, 2007 and WotC announced in April that the license would be pulled after the September issue.

No: Rob was out of commission while Dungeon and Dragon went down, IIRC. He has written some additional material for MC, posted to the PPP site @ http://site.pied-piper-publishing.com/j ... &Itemid=47 (and also worth checking out: Oerth Journal #23 @ http://www.oerthjournal.com/oj23.html).
