I just picked up a few of these:




** expired/removed eBay auction **




TSR: Gammarauders Revenge of the Factoids



Anyone here ever even hear of this game before? And better yet, does anyone have any clue how much it might be worth unopened?  I am going to dump one in the middle of this weeks auctions, btu I am kind of curious to see if anyone knows anything about it, 'cause I sure and hell don't. :?

Mars wrote:Revenge of the Factoids is the module for TSR's Gammarauders boxed game.  Neither sell for much on Ebay.  I bought a shrinked copy of Factoids from the same seller last year - I'm sure he has a bunch of them.  I'd guess that what you paid for it is probably about right.

So in other words, I should have stuck with just one and not bought 3 then. :oops:   Oh well, we'll find out soon enough, I am putting one up tonight. :)

Did you buy the shrinkwrapped Gamma World modules he has - the higher numbered GW series?  He was selling them at buy-it-now 6.95.   They would probably be more resellable than Factoids.  The one thing I did find with his stuff is that a most of the books even though they are in shrink have rusted out staples inside.

I have actually bought a ton of stuff from them both last year and this year (and so yes to the GW stuff).  They were the ones that I bought 40+ A3s and a bunch of other SW modules privately.  For me, with the exception a few items where shrinkwrap was mangled, everything else was in top condition. :)    I would imagine that they are pretty tapped out by now though, as I purchased and split up a large portion of thier stock last year with Killjoy.  With the exception of some later 2nd edition D&D setting material (i.e Lankhmar, Dragonlence, etc.) stuff, we bought it all for the most part.  They did have some other TSR non-D&D things like Top Secret, Pacesetter and what not, but we pretty much cleaned them out of anything of value for D&D.  They apparently have a few GH modules left over that I did just pick up a few more of those though.

Ditto with me.  Didn't like the condition of the few SW items I opened, rusty and stained.  One of the reasons I don't collect SW stuff anymore, you could be collecting a mold colony and never know until you actually open the darn thing....
