Could fill the hole in the collection, but it's in pretty bad shape for what they are asking.

This must be the last one this seller has. They sold quite a few before for slightly more:

eBay listings

Most of the other ones that were sold had issues too.

Wow, thanks.

.. Didn't think to check his sold listings. I do have one but (for some bizarre reason) that doesn't stop me buying exactly the same thing as well.. again. :roll:

Dungeons & Dragons Mattel TSR Game Poster

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Seems to be a good price ... not sure what these go for though.

"Okay, we turn the corner and see a Purple 'WHAT' !?!" . . (the DM rolls a 20 or so he says) . . It all went black right after that.

Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook 3rd Edition - GenCon 2000 Presale Beta Draft

GenCon 2000 Presale Beta Draft: Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook 3rd Edition | eBay

Appears to be a rare item, but no idea what its value is.

I have quite a bit 3rd Edition items (the best game system ever!)...

... But this is not the Beta that was sent out to the various RPGA members. I mean, it looks legit, but I have no source on it...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

I am skeptical of it as well. Between the seller's bizarre story and the lack of pictures, I decided to pass.

That's quite a description. Better to go with lots of pics and just describe what you're selling I think. That's what I was looking for anyway

I'd have to think someone is going to get their feelings hurt on this one.

Weird how the seller put the first print info at the bottom of the listing but fairly clearly says and shows it's a 3rd print.

I suspect they made a mistake or are confused about the difference between a printing and edition. It was probably just a mistake, judging from the rest of the listing. In this case, I think you are right about someone being hurt. Might be worth advising/correcting the seller.

If I could message the bidder I would. I only message sellers with advice if they ask for it in their listing.

Hate saying that because I don't want to see someone get screwed :cry:

I posted it here just in case one of the Group made a mistake.

As a seller I have no problem when someone tells me there is a problem with my listing. Be it description, price, wrong photos (which I seem to be good at doing)

It gives me the chance to change it before someone buys it, and I risk getting a negative, having to deal with a INAD, or other issues

As a follow-up, I did message the seller. They seemed appreciative and indicated that they would correct the error and notify the seller of the error, in case they thought they were bidding on a first print.

The seller did add the following:

On Jul-24-19 at 04:54:27 PDT, seller added the following information:

This is a FIRST edition - 3rd Printing

Pictures & Title reflect this

That's good to hear

I understand that and I think most would. Some say I look through some rose colored spectacles but I really do think the majority of people are pretty honest and would want to know. I can definitely explain my reasoning for it but it's kind of long story.

Oh, that's a fantastic deal....

I've been looking for one of these sets off and on, but couldn't bring myself to spend the cash. Someone got quite the bargain.

I remember when Elf was a class.

It looks like the seller was too quick to base the price on obsolete data, since that is what an OCE box (without supp.s) would have gone for a few years ago.

I own one of these in G-VG condition signed by Mentzer and Elmore. When I asked Frank to sign it, he exclaimed, "Jesus Christ, I haven't seen one of these in YEARS!"
