Looks like its having monitor issues too...or the "A" board is starting to go if both carts are showing the same coloration on the screen. $1000 seems high for one that needs work. Just my 2 cents though  :P

My guess is that the monitor needs replacing.  I've seen several older TVs develop the same problem over the year as their tubes start to go.

I can't imagine such a replacement is terribly cheap.

$1,795 3rd print looks sweet, but the one below is using the same stock photo. Tsk, tsk... ;)

I am tempted although I would probably prefer the D&D pinball machine.  Unfortunately space is a bit of an issue.  I was just through Sudbury yesterday too.

The pinball machine gets much more play for the long haul.  Neither are inexpensive to maintain, though.

I would assume that a serious buyer would ask Aaron for more photos of the item.
The way that his store is set up looks like he uses stock images for most items.
Just for the record, I am not bashing NKG.
His high end prices has been discussed before but he offers excellent service, packages his items well and ships quickly after your purchase.

This seller has enough stuff listed to make an entire collection.

I feel a little sorry for this collector.  He has one million good items listed at once in a down market...and closing right as GenCon ends, which is another common down time in the market.




The seller probably does not know the books and the reference sheets are a set.

IMO, a classic example of something that has been openned, stored opened and then re-shrinkwrapped by a seller at some point. Listed as used. Probably heavily disappointing if someone buys it. Maybe the seller should open it up and sell it giving an accurate appraisal of it's condition.

Granted it's extremely hard to see from the photo, but could it be that it has been bagged, not in shrink, and the seller doesn't know the difference?

I used to have one of these years ago (still have a bunch of sheets left), and I don't recall shrinkwrap. But, hey... 25 odd years is a long time to remember shrink.

If the seller is really that stupid, maybe he doesn't know the fifference between highlighting and what's meant to be in the text, or writing in the book, or the fact that there were meant to be more than 12 pages?

I'd avoid something this suspicious, because it's a real pain to try and win a case after the event and many here have had experience. If you end up buying a pile of crap from a lying AH on eBay, it can take months before you get your money back, and that's a lot of unwanted greif even if you win.

No. If a seller is too stupid or ignorant to tell the truth, you can't trust them, and they're just another lying AH trying to rip people off on eBay. Ignorance is no excuse.

Seller has several Lots with Dungeon Magazine.


Each listing offers from 3 to 6 issues.


Most of them started at 1.99 and Most have small bids already.




BUT, the seller spelled it Dungeom in every listing...


So a normal search might miss them.

I was in Salem, Oregon on August 14th.

Salem is a small town, even though it is the state capitol.  Still, Salem has perhaps double the local gaming scene of Portland or Seattle.

That is amazing, given that a number of the big game companies are in the Seattle area.

Mine looks like that and I got it from a hobby shop nearly 20 years ago. I actually bought two. The one that is still in shrink, the shrink has shrunken even more thus buckling the book somewhat. the Wrap looks wrinkled on mine too.
