Wow, what a bargain:

Same seller also has the other two books up for the same ridiculous price.

I'm always a bit leery of posting in this thread, in case either the seller or bidder is a member -- but I think this belongs here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0291011829

Now, I know that the 1976 orange character records and game reference sheets are rare. But this isn't for the pads. Unless I'm misreading the description -- this is just for one page of each, and there were I think 24 pages per pad. So at $61 with less than four hours to go, that would aggregate to over $1400 for the pads.

You're forgetting to factor in the savings on the free shipping :lol:

And to think if he was just smart enough to do that... rip.... one page at a time per week...

I really think they have lost their minds. I got $60 at the Gencon auction for mine. I bought two of them 2 years ago for $20 each on ebay.

So... I pay you £30 for your manky box set and a few books, and you can't even be bothered to post them? I have to traipse out to Bedford (wherever that is) and pick them up. I don't think so. :lol:

To think that mine had the hangar when I bought it from Waldenbooks in the 80s

Long gone now...

I would agree that the price is very optimistic... But, I could see it going for $50.00 during the holiday season. I actually wouldn't be surprised if they snag a sucker at the current price. Will be interesting to see.

Mini madness ...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=022

Not sure if this is a silly price or not, but is this a realistic amount for these minis or are there a few rares lurking in this lot?

Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

Beholder and green slime are harder to get (around $40-$50 range). No real commons in there though, the rest normally go in the $15-$25 range so not that out to lunch
