I just found three shrinkwrapped modules on ebay:

WG 9 Gargoyle for ~ 37 US-$ (35 Euro)
WGM 1 Border Watch for ~ 42 US-$ (40 Euro)
WGS 2 Howl from the North for ~ 42 US-$ (40 Euro)

I think the first price might be at the high end of reasonable pricing, the others seem to be too expensive. What is your opinion? I´ve got a quite battered copy of WG9, but good ones of the other two, although not shrinkwrapped.

The prices are definitely on the high side (2X+ the typical NM value), but they are in SW, which is a wildcard.  The WGS2 has a best offer option.  Perhaps the seller would work with someone on all three, if the offer was reasonable.  The Euro to USD doesn't help.

Thanks for your input! I think I´ll ponder this for a while - at those prices, I don´t think they will be gone soon...

Not to brag but I have wg8, wg9, wg10, wg11, wga2, wgq1 in shrink in fine or (typically) better condition for $25-40 if you'd like any of 'em. Free ship. Generally with shrink, though, these things can go for whatever and difficult to price because they tend to be far rarer, and more unusual in their appeal. I would strike up a convo on eBay - they may be looking to deal.

sea-to-sky-games, thanks for your input. I am tempted to see if your offer of free shipping would hold true for Europe as well once you see the rates (j/k, of course - shipping to Europe can easily reach 20$. Once or twice, I ordered something at Noble Knight Games, but in general, this is too expensive in shipping).
This is a problem I often encounter with the acaeums ratings: In Europe, these things are offered only rarely, as they were not shipped here in huge numbers to begin with. So, the prices of stuff people deem collectible at all can be quite high, higher than the Acaeum ratings seem to suggest. So, I can either accept high shipping fees or high prices.

Yeah, but you chaps get all the minis cheaper.

Maybe. As I don´t collect minis (other than the few I bought way back, maybe in the 80ies or early 90ies, like this set here:
Citadel Miniatures Dungeons & Dragons Starter Sets - Works In Progress - Reaper Message Board), this does not matter much to me.
