I am now convinced there is either some hidden subtext or subliminal messages in the listing....

I am very pleased for Frank.
He is reaping a windfall of truly epic proportions through his current SW TSR module listings.

Yeah, seriously. I like having shinkwrapped stuff - and I have a lot - but $100-$300 for common items that you can attain elsewhere in shrink is pretty shocking. I think EX1 is pretty uncommon but with this kind of money I'd take an ST1.

There is also this -
** expired/removed eBay auction **

Think Gnatt already pointed this one out, but its already eclipsed the last all time high by about 60 bucks already.

WOW.. and to think it was listed for less at an earlier time and did not sell.
E-Bay is totally wierd.

Dungeons and Dragons Basic Set
Blue Box version with Chits

If the box is sealed in shrinkwrap, how do they know it is one of the boxes that have chits instead of dice?

Easy to tell if you shake it. They may also just be going by the picture on the back.

Not even if it was signed by the author... :roll:

Well at least the description is very clear.

Holy...

** expired/removed eBay auction **

The price is bad enough. $55 shipping to the US?

And check out recent completed auctions. http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_sacat=S ... te=1&rt=nc

A lot of high BINs being hit. I guess I should feel good about picking one up a few years back when they were going for $35ish regularly. Would be nice to have a few spares lying about.

And the prices get even more redonculous. 1E core rulebooks for a mere $100 each.

More than $20 for a B&W photocopy of one of the maps included in EotPT boxed set! WTF??

** expired/removed eBay auction **

And still 3 hours left...

Am I missing something? Is it a prepub map?

Two interesting thoughts on this one:

1. The bidder has a feedback score of 1. Nuff said.

2. I suppose this could be a victory for the proponents of the philosophy of putting stuff on ebay at above market prices and it will sell eventually. This seller has had the same items cycling for a loooooooooooong time.

That seller has had that item listed for MANY months, dating back to last year.
Along with many other rediculously priced OD&D and other RPG items.
For instance, he also has each of the three volumes from a White Box set (5th or 6th prints) INDIVIDUALLY listed at $185.99 EACH!

Buyer has to be a shill by or for the seller.

While these are indeed rare, they came with 50 sheets.

This one has just five (5) sheets remaining...... hence the posting here, as the $195 BIN is Too high by far.
