I wonder if it's possible to change your name to space, as in " ".  Like the Dolphins "No Name Defense."  You could be the no-name collector!

Wonder if you can change your name into coloured text, or into a smiley?

Seller won't accept $4.50.  8O

I went as high as $5.00 but still no dice.

I wonder if $10 would convince them to throw in a can of Raid.

I sent the seller a note telling him the Box Set was a sixth print OCE, and not a fifth print as he had at first stated in the description.
I also informed him that his BIN would be unlikely to catch anyones eye as a good buy.

I later sent an offer, and it was rejected even though it was substantially more than yours was.
Perhaps I should have offered a can of Raid as well....... :roll:

What would be fair price for this? I need a "playing" copy so I can retire my DCSIII copy...

In all honesty I think a lot more than $25.

He has FOUR of the OD&D supplements in decent condition along with the OCE.
Plus the books inside that nasty looking box look ok to me with the exception of Book One with the water stains and pened name.
The Errata/Reference sheets are missing though.

Each of the Supplements could sell for $15-25 seperatly.
As a lot they alone (IMO) are worth $60-70 as a group and even at that, a re-seller could make a profit.

I would personally not pay over $40 for an OCE Box Set in that condition and missing the reference sheets as well.

My guess?
If that guy would remove his BIN, I think it would sell for as much as $200 as a lot.
Better likelyhood would be closer to $125-150.

BUT, Some blokes will buy anything in any condition.
Some nerdy rich Wall Street Broker who remembers talking his mom into buying that stuff 30 years ago may stumble across that listing and immediately hit the BIN.
It would not be the first time that has happened.
