I see that now. He must've posted that after I shot him the question.

Probable.
With no bids posted yet; a seller can change the entire listing and no one would know unless they had saved the original to a local drive.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Depending on the reserve this is a very reasonable auction lot. The shipping might be a little high for media mail, but I haven't mailed such a large lot of books in awhile and I couldn't say for certain what 74 of these books would cost to ship.

The buy it now and shipping make this around $10 per book, which is about half or less than what they must have cost retail.

Looks like 3 U.K. monochrome mods and a couple of Aussie G series mods in this lot:

More contact-papered Aussies.... Wonder if there was a distro or Store down under that was doing that. There seem to be many that have had that treatment.

AD&D pins?

No idea if these are rare, but the bin seems pretty reasonable:

Look to me like contemporary things; somebody with images of various book covers and a button machine, essentially.

yeah the drop-shadow on the logo gives it away. Also seems this is what the seller "does" look at the rest of his items...

Would be fun to make some of these yourself maybe.

The picture doesn't load for me but it looks like the same guy who was making and selling them a while back too. He had a few different sets - BECMI covers, 1st Edition hardcover covers, 2nd Edition hardcover covers, etc. They are nice and relatively cheap but not a licensed product.

this appears to have gone over the amount I would have expected for this lot, I mean there are some nice items there, but $370 with shipping seems a bit steep....or am I missing out on something here ?

It looks like maybe a bit much for being sold as a lot but individually the items would sell for more than the selling price. Most of the modules are $20-$25+ each

Id say this lot would high end quite a bit over the auction price just for the items pictured. Did you notice that there were more items than just the ones in the pictures?

Good spot! With the rest of modules included it is a much better deal too.

This is still got an hour and a half to go.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

The shipping is ridiculous, but what do you think this could be re-sold for on eBay? I'm thinking $200.00 pretty easy, probably $300.00. Thoughts? :?:
