[QUOTE="T. Foster, post: 3217284, member: 16574"] B10 (aka B/X1) isn't that surprising to me because it's a big module with lots of parts (almost super-module length, plus a big 2-sided poster map and a sheet of counters) that's among the harder to find modules of its era, and complete copies (with the maps and the counters) tend to go for a lot on ebay, making $4 for the pdf a very good deal. Plus it's got the reputation among those who've read/played it as a very good module, frequently cited as one of the best of its era/line (written by TSR UK, the same guys who wrote the AD&D UK series modules and later went on to write the classic "Enemy Within" modules for WFRP), which will naturally tend to make people (both newbies and folks who were too busy playing "grown up" AD&D and missed out on this one in its day (1986)) curious. I agree that B11 is an oddity and have no idea why it's so high on the list (other than the fact that's it's a low level module that a lot of "old school" fans probably never had back in the day, so if they're looking for something "new" to start a campaign with it might be appealing in that regard). Or perhaps people are just buying the entire B series (B1-9 supermodule, B10, B11) under the mistaken impression that they form a big series together (they don't)... [/QUOTE]
