RE: Bloodstone Pass (H-series, 1st/2nd[?] edition) modules

Looking through eBay and Amazon listings, I seem to find that I can find lots of listings--relatively--for
the H1, H2, and H4 modules...but H3 seems to be VERY rare when it comes to listings.
Is H3 just rarer than the others in the H-series, or just seems that way because of lack of listings?
For that matter, how rare are the other H-series modules after H1, in terms of number printed/sold?

None of these are rare at all, there is almost always a good selection of them up on ebay and elsewhere

In my experience - when looking for particular modules, sometimes it's feast or famine.  But famine doesn't necessarily mean rare; it could just mean that you missed the last wave.  H3 comes around less often as H1 and H2 - possibly due to H series popularity waning as the series neared conclusion.  I would save a search on eBay and then widen your search area to include AbeBooks, NobleKnight, and Dragon Trove (I've had luck with all three in the past).

I always though H1 was the hardest to find.  It usually commands the highest price so often takes a bit longer to sell as well.

If anyone needs to complete an H3, I have 2 covers with 2 maps as pieces - go figure.

Yeah, H1 has all the stand-ups and cut-outs ...unlike H2 and H3 which just have booklets and fold-out maps (I believe this to be the case, but I may be mistaken).  Of the three, I found it much tougher to find a complete H1.

Finding an H1 Bloodstone Pass in a "box" that isn't crushed is very rare, so it seems.

Extremely rare to find with no damage.  I bought the best one I could find brand new from the store, and it was already damaged.  It's a very flimsy box and too big for the contents.
