So the guy can list them but not note individual condition? Lot of questions to ask before bidding on this one.

Are they complete? Which items are in the 'fair' shape (what do they smell like, must, cigarettes, the pet?) Which items have highlighting or writing, etc... Right now it is pretty much a pig in a poke.


Works out to about $2.81 an item when you add shipping.  That's pretty good really.  The money back return policy would be pointless since you're going to eat $70 in shipping, MTL.  All things considered it might not have been a bad risk.

JZ:  my thoughts exactly- too many questions to ask.  I just want to watch it unfold.  

Since I live in Canada it would be better to roll up my cash, light one end, and start huffing all that dirty-goodness than pay for shipping.

I go into convulsions of envy every time I see that, "free shipping in the US" tag.


Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe...we are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

That depends entirely on the answers to some of those questions, even for someone buying them for use and not worried about anytjing except completeness and playability.

Must kills a collection, though you can copy the pages and use the copies, but completeness is the big thing.

I was idly looking through the listing last night and seeing how much of it wasn't worth the $2.81 even if it was in perfect shape.

There was a good chunk of worthless material (and that material is normally what is in best condition). Hopefully someone wanting to play the game or a gaming group has gotten hold of it, though large auction lots are mainly attractive to stores and resellers.

It is the question of completeness that would really break this deal for anyone. Maps especially.

Should go in the $5 range, not a popular collectable.


Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

Sounds about right.  It is not related to the First Quest record album.

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Not a very clear picture, but looks to be in pretty nice shape.

Nice minty looking books, errata sheet, possibly original dice, and a Very Nice box there.



Wonder which Edition/Printing the set is?

I have a shrinked WB Tractics set which still has it's original die inside (well, I presume that's what it is ;) ) and that's from around the same timeframe IIRC.  I don't remember if my 6th OCE came with dice or not (been too long :) ).
