No bids on this, could go for $23.50. Half hour left

** expired/removed eBay auction **

It ended with no bids.

I had a nice condition 2nd print of S&S sell for just $20.50 plus $3 SH... that was last week.

The OD&D Supplements are not selling like they did just short time ago.

Chainmail is also not selling well.

I also had a 5th print 3rd edition of Chainmail sell for less than $30 even though I used pics of the actual books being sold, not stock photos of something else.

I've had better success with Chainmail in the last year. Two 3rd Ed./7ths in FN or better went for $55-ish, and I had one one surprise BIN where a 3rd/8th in shrink went for $95. I started the opened ones at $49.95, and they took a few tries.

S&S does seem to be the least popular OD&D book. Could have gone for that price, but just unlucky I suppose.

I think I will not list another Chainmail in an open auction unless I start it at a price I can live with if it only gets one bidder.

Same for any of the OD&D Supplemnts.
Too easy to loose my shirt on them if I list them for 99 cents....

Would rather get no bids than sell a Fine - VF 2nd print S&S for just $20.
Although as a collector, I hope they continue to sell for nothing... :lol:

Hey everyone,

I thought someone might have already put this one up.

Less than a day left on the auction.

MINIATURE WARGAME Rules, CHAINMAIL, Medieval Warfare, 2nd Ed., op, 1972, VGC

** expired/removed eBay auction **

He's also got a Cavaliers and Roundheads going for much less.

MINIATURE WARGAME Rules, Cavaliers & Roundheads, Gygax, TSR, 2nd Ed., op, 1975,

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I have bought from this seller before. Nice man, very communicative.

Last year I had asked about the possibility of whether or not he might have more books like the above. I guess he finally got around to checking his stock that was boxed away...

Best regards,

Ronald

I've bought a few of her things - I'll let you know what I think when I get them (largely shrink stuff, but I did buy an H4).

But you're right - that picture doesn't look NM. Maybe F?

Yeah, something else I noticed in her Fantasy listings.
Starting prices leave No room whatsoever for any realistic expectation for actual bidding.
Basically its a BIN without the BIN costs from e-Bay.

Doc's Island just went for 320, which seems a bit steep. The R1 has been sitting there for a month, IIRC.

Wow. Just.... wow.

** expired/removed eBay auction **
?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I didn't even bother bidding. I knew that "Son of" is a bit scarcer than Dungeon Trap Handbook, but...wow.

Anyone here the winner?

I guess we'll all be watching to see what Amanda W comes up with next..

I saw that and posted in the Reilly thread. Amazing. I planned to go in with a $63 snipe. I was way off.

Oh, yeah, it's non-TSR. Sorry, I had a few black russians before logging on last night.

Currently on a low bid for what looks to be quite a good OCE plus additional supplements.
