I don't see the instruction sheets with it. If somebody from here buys it they can download a PDF instruction manual from the following site:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I have asked the seller for a pictue of the signature. Hopefully he will come up with the goods. £50 still seems a bit steep though?

Evidently not, it's got a bidder. About $96.00 US. The regular TOEE can go for that once in a while. With the autograph, one could expect more from it as of late.

I was hoping to get in cheap, but from the sellers reply to one of my questions, the jig was already up.

Probably like two minutes after they were listed, going by the timing of my questions and the sellers answers.

First Print MM

First print DMG

First Print PHB (With Yellow end pages; So, Not a True First)

All in one listing.

They are in well used condition, but some here may not have any copies and might wish to try for them.

I was wondering why I came home to find my marker bids had all been outbid at once. :lol:

Non-OCE Box + Supplement Goodies + More

Looks like a 4th or 5th box set (I don't see the starburst,) but its all damaged, but the books look in pretty good shape. Includes some JG maps, Chainmail 3rd edition, and Demons from SPI. Not too bad. Would be good for a playing copy...

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

So why will this take $25 to ship?

That must be in error. It states $20 to ship to Canada. It shouldn't cost anyone $5 more to ship domestically. :lol:

Because he is charging more than double his actual shipping costs?

Thats My guess anyway.

Um, "editorial copy" of a sixth print set (without the Chainmail and the supplements as listed on the box) with a rather hefty BIN and starting price.

Opinions? I'm unsure what to make of it.

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.

Just a personal opinion, but, without any real extensive commentary or insight into changes, adjustments, or addition/deletions from the designers themselves...a few highlights and underlines from an editors perspective dont strike me as worth more than 10x the original value. IMHO of course. =)

Okay, I can't help but ask, but what exactly is a "potato wedger"? - bclarkie

Also, apparently no proof that it's even what he says it is. Any schmuck can write on his box set what he wrote and try and pass it off as what he is saying it is. If this sells, expect a bunch of other "editorial office copies" to show up on Ebay.

Well, it's probably worth checking the cleric table in few of the late-printing OCEs, just to see if this "editorial change" made it into a later printing. I'm doubting the veracity of this claim altogether.

Really, why would they be sending out "editorial copies" at that late stage? It's the final printing.
