Just found this hidden away in a box, it is in excellent condition and free of markings. Dark and Hidden Ways Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition Supplement 1990 TSR ISBN 1560760494. Can't find anything on Ebay's auction history. Any idea on a price? Thanks.

If you have the original Dungeoneer Survival Guide (has a marker line through the bar code) you'll fetch more when you sell it, as well as if you also have the wrap-around cover (that'll increase the sale price significantly). See http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/miscpages/dark.html for more details.

I think I do, I must have seperated them thinking they didn't belong together. Thanks for the two post above.

I found the book, it shows a "x" marked on the back cover where the barcode is, does that seem correct?

That is correct. It should be marked with an 'X'

An X? I think my copies have a slash "-" through the barcode.

Mines a smiley face.

I have had at least two of each book and none have had an X. All were slashes. But that can simply mean the three high school kids they had doing the work stared with X and got lazy and went to a slash.

Or you have a forgery.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!
