I can report that we sold a copy of ST1: Up The Garden Path for £15,000 yesterday. At yesterday's exchange rates, £15,000 equates to US$20,483, which I think passes the previous record for any module. Unless anyone can think of anything higher? The Acaeum lists a 2018 sale of The Jade Hare at $18,600 as the highest, and Paul Stormberg says $19,500 for the same module, so £15,000 would appear to be a new record.

Congrats on the great sale!

Don't recall a module selling for more than that.  The last ST1 documented on The Acaeum sold at auction for $11,760.

We'll make a note to verify and update.

Wow... Surprised at how prices risen over the years - thought the number of collectors in our little hobby was small and decreasing.

Does anyone remember what a sealed Jade Hare with cover went for pre covid? I wanted to say 26k. That sounds outrageous now. I think my memory is horrid, but I'm not so sure.

Do you need anything from me to help with the verification? This was a sale on our website, so there isn't anything like an eBay listing.

May I ask if the sale was to a UK buyer, US, or other country?

A UK buyer. One of our regular customers in fact.
