There is NO WAY I am reading this right. 1363 EUROS? That's like, $2500 American?? I'm speechless. Or, I can't read Italian. One of the two.

Yes, that's correct. Not reasonable, but correct.

Wait a sec, it didn't SELL for that much, did it?

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

I hope the seller simply realized he made a big mistake and canceled the auction.

Greetings! "8O" makes for a good start to a first post over here.

As a pdf, yes. Very much out of stock in printed form, though.

I believe that Paizo is only selling the PDF version of Pathfinder #1.

Decisions, decisions....

This one?

or this one?

I like Jack Vance's work as much as the next guy, but not enough to pay the asking price for a game that he kept in a box in his attic for thirty years.

Check the text: Vance did not keep it. He gave it to his publisher who gave it to someone else who kept it in his closet for decades.

Now, if I could come across the rest of the Amarinta Station novels for a buck or so, that would be nice.

So the asking price is even more ridiculous than previously thought.
