As with the First Quest cassette, note the international shipping comment (really shouldn't be too bad; International Standard Delivery | Royal Mail Group Ltd: frequent sellers in the UK should be awash with cheap postage to use on those packages, but many sadly aren't)

Grug Greyskin wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:The winner did not snipe, so I think they just well overbid to ensure they would come out on top. They made 4 bids higher than the ultimate runner up. Good price for the seller, at least per our current valuations.

The current valuations seemed to be low even allowing for a discount of the usual shrink factor. I'd certainly not seen any decent condition unshrinked copy close to $800-900 recently.

Two to list here, anyhow, that I'd had to set aside last weekend as I'd been preempted by that auction start -- one in about the same condition as that just sold but shrinked which lays perfectly flat (not so common...) and another unshrinked with some wear from Steve Marsh.

21st century mini-reprints, a bit pricey but in shrink:

I have never seen the mini-books in shrink before, doubt they were sold that way.

They were never sold in shrink, I bought them new off the shelf and only the basic, expert mini boxsets and the dragonlance sets were sold in shrink.  I know the seller (his store is an hour north of my house) and he shrinks everything to keep it in saleable shape.

But it IS a photo of what became a graphic ad.
