One good thing about The Trolling Toads,

They never fail to amaze me with starting auction prices....





Funny thing is if that boxset were released today it just may be in the $120.00 range :?




If anybody wants one though they can have mine for $100 :lol:

Troll and Toad is a champion seller for D20 items.

They don't have to move merchandice, so they shoot the moon on some classic collectibles.

NM condition, but still     $81 with 1-1/2 hours left.




Perhaps the Bonus Item:


An ultra rare creature catalog is pushing the price up a little...

Especially when there is a Buy-it-Now listing on the auction page with a price of $59.95 and two other listings currently at $12+

It's also in "LIKE NEW" condition... which helps.

Lately, on RPG net and some other sites, there has been a lot of positive talk about the RC, so that may be driving it for newbies unaware of the going price.

Also, shilling.

I got mine for $26 in near mint less than a year ago. Isn't the market supposed to be soft?

Stock photo is of the Castle Zagyg Logo, not the module.

Seller could not be bothered to post a picture of it...  :roll:



I got my copy for $2.50 a year ago.... with a picture in the listing.

Not a stock photo either.

Seller is an arse.
FWIW, the first print of DC is likely to become a rarity IMO. The one that matches Yggsburgh in colouring, as opposed to the one that matches the gazetteers. Although you'll be waiting for years before even a 1st printing will be worth $80.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

$1,600 means there are NEVER too many items to list.

Too bad.  He might get some bidders for a significant lot...if he went to the trouble to just list the items.

If you're of that persuasion, I counted approximately 222 items, which if the minimum bid is the winner, comes out to about $3.38 an item.

Make of that what you will.  :)
