Make of that what you will.  :)


Unfortunately $3 is more than the current value for most of what he has there (though there is a nice batch of CoC items depending on condition).

Gurps, palladium, DC Heroes, blehhhh!

Ummm....pretty much any gaming item in reasonable condition is worth $3.  At least it is to me.

The exception would be Dragon magazines and possibly some of the lowest drivel.

Do they make boxed sets like this anymore or were these tome sets the end of the 'golden age' for these items?

They are very common in the resell markets, but no nothing like those sets are being published now as far as I know.
I got a copy of that specific Set for a $25 BIN a few months back and was reluctant to hit even that, especially since Shippping was another $15...
I know if I had been more patient I could have done better than that. :oops:

Those booklets are one of the most common items on the shelves.  Last week I passed up three of them on the shelf at Half Price Books.

I could actually use that 4th print screen, but ugh, the price (BIN has been lowered to a much fairer $55 now...)   8O

I had a nice talk with this seller... I explained that they are common items but seem to be in good shape. I directed her to our pages with pricing. She said she found pricing using T&T as a ref. :roll:

I told her that T&T are crooks and nobody buys from them.

Shoot her an offer.

I sold my 4th a few months ago for $26... I'm going to send her the link for as a ref... maybe she'll let hers go for close to that.

The seller rejected my bid...(which was, you know, no surprise).  :D

She also wrote:  "You three are in violation of Ebay rules."  

(Or something pretty much exactly like that.)

"You three"...?

"Ebay rules"...?

My offer was tongue-in-cheek, but I would have honored it had she accepted.  As mockery goes it was a very gentle example.  :?

What Ebay rule did I violate?  :?
