Are you going to be doing a straight auction? That will guarantee the highest price, if you do. Whatever you set as the starting bid, which I would recommend that you keep reasonable, rest assured that it will find it's price.

You should do quite well with this, despite some imperfections. There hasn't been one come up for sale a while.

Make sure you list the auction link here as well.

I dont see this listed as a print under the modules, soooo, what print is this or what is it all together? BTW, I am not questioning anything. My knowledge is basically limited to this site and its forums; save for the fact that I know character record sheets aren't worthless.

It actually is listed under modules, but you have to scroll all the way down to near the bottom. It's called "Rahasia (Daystar West)."

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

You always have to take what advanced collectors say "with a grain of salt" as the old saying goes.

I will list the module with a low starting price since I have no idea how much it is worth. I suggest that potential buyers examine all of the photos posted. Hopefully they show all of the imperfections.
I will post here as soon as it goes live on eBay. Preparing the listing now.
Does anyone know if the coloring of the map was done by the publisher or the purchaser? What do the previous examples look like?

No that was done afterwards. The original wasn't colored.

It was a pretty darn good job though.

I'm sorry to be the grouchy grognard, but the collector in me sees it as defaced :-(

Curious to see what this will go for, it may have writing in it but it is a very rare item.

What's the condition of the black tape on the spine - is itstill sticky and tacky, or has it gone brittle and un-sticky?

Thanks in advance & good luck!

The black binding is still well attached and is not obviously peeling off.

Thanks to everyone who was interested in the module. It sold today for over $1600. I guess it sometimes does pay to be a geek. Here's to all the great adventures!
