Grayhawk Wars

is it rare or not?

I don't think it's very rare, meaning there always seem to be a couple on ebay. I recently got $22.50 for mine:

Axel,

With the Greyhawk wars it is like most things on eBay, sometimes you get a deal, sometimes you don't.

Here was an auction for one that ended on July 25th with 17 bids ending at $72.00 US.

In this case, the seller was having a good day :lol:

One note though: That $72 GH Wars was unopened. :)

Heh. I was totally bummed to hear that someone got $50 more than I did, unti lI saw that it was still in the shrink. :D

I actually thought $22.50 was a fair price for that item. I had a $20.00 BIN set on it, actually.

Red Alert! Far too expensive . . . and (in pretty much everyone on this board's opinion) you should avoid that seller.

Here is the one you should be bidding on:

http://cgi.ebay.com/TSR-AD-D-Ravenloft-Greyhawk-Vecna-Reborn-shrink-new_W0QQitemZ280015015255QQihZ018QQcategoryZ44112QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Figure $20-30 without shrink . . . maybe up to $40 max with shrink.

ok, here i am back on this topic:

in the store in my town i wasn't able to find anymore the mini xp set (otus artwork), but i found indeed a particular product:

it is a sort of box with the shape of an old tome in which 16 mini adventures of dragonlance are stored...

do you think it could be collectable? could anyone be interested in it? (i am not since i do not collect settings products, except for pscape!)
