Well, maybe +$2 for the Expert being 1st print, but yeah, I agree with

Not eBay but I had to post this from Amazon:

$600 Domains of Dread (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft, Campaign Setting/2174) (Hardcover)
Seller: The-Best-Book-Source

That isn't the best part. I clicked on the store front and found:
Sum & Substance Audio on Corporations with Summary Supplement (CD)
List Price: $74.00
Price: $74.00 + $99,925.00 sourcing fee

Yeah, $100,000 sourcing fee.

You can buy it here for $72.95

Egregious abuse, guffaw, and other comments.

The eye that looks ahead to the safe course is closed forever.

Nah, here's a shrinked copy that's a bit torn starting at $10.

I personally thought this was amazing.

And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy...ME! :oops:

Then again, I sold about five very fine copies of Blood Bowl Magazine about a year ago for $256.00 or something like that. Memo to self: If you see Blood Bowl stuff at the FLGS, get it and re-sell it!

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

Check the UK ebay site, it is littered with BBowl stuff. I'd be happy to get anything you might want and fire it over to you if they don't ship internationally (as I watch a lot of this stuff myself)

Maybe I'm crazy, but I would pay 10 to 15 bucks each for the Beastiary of Dragons & Giants & Top Ballista. The rest is just padding, but the price doesn't seem that outrageous to me.

The Beastiary shows up and can be had pretty cheap. Top Ballista in great shape is in the $10-15 range, I will give you that. But as a lot, no way.

Paying $44 (shipping included) for B1, B3, AC10 and PC (I forget) seems way out of range. B1 and B3 can regulary be had for $5 each. AC10 not much more.

Looking back, I am sure the PC mod was the driving force. But then again, I have not had time to really watch ebay in six months so maybe these mid-size lots are doing better than they used to.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

OK, this made laugh. I've already picked up a couple copies of this particular title at less than $5 each, so I had to peek at this listing for the silly price of $51.90 USD. The funny part? Read the fine print under Terms:

"All pictures include are for illusion only"

FINALLY! Truth in advertising. OK, OK, I see they are based in Hong Kong, so I'm willing to bet English is not their primary language. Hmm, maybe I could start a cottage business, proofing and editing eBay listings...

AND it's a pre-worn item, so you know it will fit.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.
