benjoshua wrote:I don't think Coug had as much effect as he wanted, but there are a couple of things that may be impacting the price. First, finding the set in shrink and then with the counters unpunched is difficult enough in itself. The set was slightly more expensive than most AD&D modules, and I doubt a lot of people bought the set in shrink to keep as an investment. Second, and most important, the box is as frail as they come. Finding an undamaged box is tricky, even if it's in shrink. The box I have isn't in the best of shape.Still, the price does seem out of line. In my opinion, it's not that great a module. Go figure.

sleepyCO wrote:You're right; there weren't too many H1 boxes that weren't squashed (the one I had was squashed along the top), much less the number still in shrinkwrap plus intact plus not squashed. That would make sense.

It's been floating there like a bloated carcass for a year or so, only slightly picked over by the gulls and nibbler-fish, the blood trail having long ago washed out. Sail on out and sink your harpoon into it before the tax returns start rolling in!
