Hi,

reputedly, the Gygax collection had over 10,000 items.

Even with TSRs stream of output, there will be quite a few dupes.

No cigar box this time I note (unless I missed it) :)

Cheers,
KAL

Even for items once owned by EGG this is simply ludicrous. :roll:

These SAME Sticker Packs can be had for a buck each nearly any day on e-Bay.



I have about 20-30 of these Packs all in original packaging (Plastic wrap).

Never paid over $1 (USD) for any of them.

Most I got for closer to 25 cents each in lots.

LOL, every single item that goes up under this with the signed cert from his collection ends ludicrously over priced.  These are no exception.



In fact, I think I recall seeing a SF:Alpha Dawn box set sell for like $150 in the first round of auctions and then the buyer resold it for um... $35 6 months later.



Although, to be fair, I shouldn't throw stones - some view the 'shrinkophile' syndrome as the same.

Hey stylean,

I'm going to have to double check my records and see was this the one that was in shrink when the guy bought it. Then he opened it to verify the contents and resold the same item later at a much lower price? :)

Best regards,
Ronald

Hey everyone,

One thing I am surprised at for the latest Gygax auction from the_collectors_trove are the triple digit amounts that the catalogs are getting up to in the bidding.

Are these really that rare and hard to find?

Best regards,
Ronald

Since the money is going to Gygax's family, I wish them high bids on everything.  :salut:

Yeah, that was the gist of it.  Like $300 cash, opened it, resold for $35.

Yeah those catalogs are going high. I don't see the various catalogs from 83-89 come up too often.

s***1 is spending a tidy sum this evening  :D

as much as I like the catalogs and the other stuff, that's some heavy duty cold hard cash to lay out!

Hey misterspock,

Yeah I saw that too. Is that someone on the board here?

I really wanted that Annual Report, but way too rich for my blood.
I thought US$45.00 would be a reasonable price, but man at US$227.50?

I'm happy I snagged the Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark for US$4.50 :)

Best regards,
Ronald

Hey everyone,



So that TSR annual report went for:



US$403.97...




** expired/removed eBay auction **




At that price you'd think there was some inside investment information in that company. :)



Best regards,

Ronald

When I went to bed, I was high bidder on both binders and the annual report ... about 1hr 20min to go .... I didn't stay up to do any sniping, so I only won the lesser of the binders.

I think I show up as w***h on eBay

Wow, I actually won a couple things this time around.  Not sure how I managed the Snow Pearls at 33 when all the other shrink went for 3x normal.
