Really?

Same seller has 14 different D&D listings (Single item in each) and EVERY single one is listed with a totallly rediculous starting price.

The sellers eBay name is appropriate for the listings.

Hey everyone,

The price looks really high for this boxed set.

Not sure if I am missing something here?

Best regards,

You didn't miss anything that I can see. An irony here is that he sold a Night Below boxed set in shrink for $19.50! In my opinion, the Night Below boxed set is a much better product. Strange.

Which only goes to show who can read and who can't.

Intelligator's auction not only included the Menzoberranzan, but the FR and Ruins of Myth Drannor sets as well, ALL in shrink. Still high from my personal opinion, but that's just me. :wink:

Real high, but Intelligator gets premium dough for his stuff :!:

That he does, I always look at his auctions and wonder where he gets all that shrink wrapped stuff. He sold a shrinked OCE in the last few months if I remember correctly.

Anyone have a link or a picture of the said OCE he sold?

I just looked it up and by "last few months" I meant August. :lol:

It is lost to the eBay archives, now. However maybe someone saved the picture.

Shill bidding, with all those low number bidders?

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Its because the books are from the rare "Adcanced" line.

I'm not sure about the price but at least the seller could have dusted this off first.

Colossal Red Dragon

The current price is spot on. Actually, they've slowly and steadily increased in price since I've purchased them 2-3 years ago around $100 - $120. It's my favorite mini (and I have 3 of them...).

I'd be more worried about it being complete (with the cards, monster mat, etc.) than the dust. I can always clean dust off of a plastic mini.

The other Colossal and Garguatuan dragons have always held their value.

This may surprise some people:

Birthright Boxed Set in Shrink

I mentioned once before the set fetched a high price and was met with skepticism. Ten different bidders - a few of these in 'thousands' feedback range. Does it belong in this thread? Or perhaps not?
