Maybe it's high because it's a 2nd print?

I don't see the dice, though. Still seems overboard.

I think you will see that not all of the Gamma World box sets came with dice. I purchase one NIS without them. It's possible this one did not come with them.

Yes, but that is a really nice looking copy. Maybe if it was in SW it would sell for that.

optimistic price

** expired/removed eBay auction **

even free shipping and a "fair" rating hasn't garnered a single bid on this either

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

I think I might ask the seller if I can pick up locally, at least to save on the shipping cost.
