Ebay Auction - for serious D&D collectors

[Taren Nighteyes]

Does anyone know if anyone bid on this?

(I have firewall problems - can't get to EBay from work.)

Thanks,

The Auction ended and no one put even a single bid on. Something i didn't notice before was the fact the seller had a buy it now price of $4,900.00. So if you thought the starting bid was insane...




He has the auction up again this time with a starting bid of $1,000.00. Lets see how this one goes.

Thanks!

I didn't think he was going to get a bite.....but you never know. There are people out there with insane amounts of cash and a mind to match.

It's been re-listed..he apprently cancelled the auction as he recieved some differing opinions for various authorities on what printing it was....

He did re-list at a lower price since the printing is in question...though it's still as rare as it gets for D&D items...

This one may be the same, and much much cheaper:

About 2 years ago I was tempted to get one at a auction at my local store. But it was too much for me, the final bid was $220.

It was in really good shape. Either that guy on ebay is selling it for WAY too much or I missed out on a good deal.

anybody want to start a betting pool as to how much he gets out of it? I'll put 5 SP on "He re-lists at $800"

The second one you note is a white box edition. There were at least 50,000 of those printed before the "Basic Set" was released in 1977.

If it was a brown-box edition in even fair condition you missed a very good deal indeed.

Only 3,000 total copies were done thus. Collectors pay more than $1,000 for these rare items. The best place to sell this sort of item is at the GenCon auction where the serious collectors gather.

Now the thousand dollar guy is quoting experts!

Give him an email, Gary, and put him in his place.
