This item is both for the conditions/ printing and the history wriiten in the auction description one of the most charming sets in the last years to my eyes...

It might even break the last highest value !

Pretty nice first print, best one on Ebay in many years!!

Hi folks,

It was suggested that I join and start a discussion thread about the original D&D set that I recently posted on eBay. I started the thread in the Collecting General area, giving a little more detail about the set and how I came to own it. I know there was some question about the fact that I did not have any history on eBay and concerns that this might be a scam of some kind. Please feel free to check out my post on the Collecting General thread and add any comments or concerns. I will do my best to answer any questions. Thanks for your interest!

Jan

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

I think my bid lasted for about an hour. LOL

I knew it wouldn't but it was still fun to throw out there for a bit. It is already as high as I thought I might finish up. Obviously, I was very wrong on that call.

Carpe DM!

I always try to bid what I can afford (if it isn't too laughably low), so at least I can say I was part of the party and you never know when fate might throw you a bone.

The guy has either the same one or another one up for sale!

photos seem to be the same one.. unless he's reusing the old photos

Talk about "print on demand"...

Well I hope you'll forgive me for saying this Mr. Spock, but I am not displeased that you were unable to get a bid on.
I own the 1980 AD&D Open Master Copy from GenCon (that all of the Judges Copies were photocopied from) and I thought this being from Origins 1980 it would make a nice bookend piece.

Who is the bidder with Zero Feedback helping to push this over $8K?

Whenever that happens, it's definitely suspect.

Hmmm. This auction is getting press:

http://www.avclub.com/article/original- ... bay-247000

Could be a legit buyer that saw the article and decided to jump on EBay. Who knows where this could go now.

This is turning into a real "found a 1951 Mickey Mantle in my grandma's attic" situation - fun watching it unfold for you, Jan.
