"...

Shipping Costs and Information

- the buyer will be responsible for shipping costs. The books are in 9 USPS Large Flat Rate Boxes each of which will ship most anywhere in the US for about 15 dollars per box - The shipping fee will be fixed for a US Buyer as defined in the shipping section.

- due to problems with costs of shipping in the past to non-us locations - only US address will be available for shipping.

..."

Guess he doesn't know he can pack and ship them immensely cheaper than using USPS Flat Rate boxes :roll:

Or more likely shrinkwrap. Wouldnt be the first time someone has started foaming at the mouth because an item was shrinkwrapped. :roll:

I like Dragonlance, not enough to pay that much for it.

The rest of his items sold for reasonable prices, and some were relatively good bargains. Strange.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

If Shrink Wrap is what you are after this one seems a MUCH better bargain than a single (Common as hell) Module for your $110...

And I still think this one is priced over the top, buy at least 3 times...

Funny thing is that DL1-3 was still availble in my FLGS until summer last year

Still only worth about $8-10 to me.

Scientists often bring this topic up, but are always forced to conclude that it's never actually been proven to be the case.

It is number 9130.

A clever bit of auction text. As if this module is some sort of limited edition that was individually numbered.

Nice for the seller...
The trail maps seem to have been edging upwards in price for a long time: not quite enough of 'em in decent condition and fairly strong demand.

Rules Cyclopedia over $100 with 16 hours to go:

A shill may have gotten it up to $40, and a low-feedback bidder has lured a more experienced bidder up to $101.
