Were the maps included in a seperate booklet or were they just an appendix in the back of the book?  There's a couple of copies available on ebay now but I don't think any of them mention the maps (or lack thereof).

Thanks for any help you can give.

Yes, there was a separate booklet that was inserted into a flap in the back of the module.  Without it you would be in the dark quite literally.

Separate booket... under-sized and meant to tuck in the inside flap on the back cover.

Often, the maps go missing, so I would assume the worst unless they're specifically mentioned/imaged... at least be sure to ask about them before bidding   :D

As far as I can tell, the addition (ie, the completeness) makes it worth more, tending toward $25-50 as I have seen on eBay -- I would not pay that much, myself.

I agree, I'm thinking top end price for something that I'm not planning on actively running would be $10-15.00.  I've run it before and the only reason I want a copy if for reading purposes.

If you are not actively running it, then I would assume it would be a collectable item, so good condition and completeness would be an issue.
Obviously we can sometimes find things on fire sale on E-Bay or elswhere (Like HPB) and so it is possible for one to find a ToEE for $10.
But You may have to wait a VERY long time before finding a complete ToEE for that price range.
And in collectable condition even longer.

As indicated above, the prices for complete collectable grade for ToEE will run in the $35-50 range.

Nowadays, you can hardly find a B-2 in collectable condition for $10........
And the shipping can double that price at times.

Another possibility is finding one in a larger lot of stuff, where for some reason no one else seems to have noticed the hidden jewel in the listing.

IMO; if you are realistic in your collecting goals, you wont dissapointed as often, and the great deals (If/When they come up) will be all that much sweeter for you.

I've noticed that lot buying has advantages and have a couple on the watch list to see what they do (outbid on the first one I was watching).  You have to dig through a lot of rock before you find the occasional bit of gold so I've decided that patience is going to be my best tool (along with information).  

I did win a copy of deities and demigods for $2.48 (due to mispelling and lack of Elric and Cthulhu mythos) that if it's in as good a condition as advertised I should have to problem either reselling or leaving on the shelf to let it appreciate in value.  A co-worker mentioned the mispelling thing a while back (it happened with one of my listings  :oops:  )and now I've begun revising my common search terms to include common mispellings...never know when you're going to be lucky.
