I own a Near Mint copy of #267 0f 1000 "Blasted Lands" Tournament Dungeon module produced by Mayfair games for Dallcon in 1983.

What's it worth? Should I ebay it or keep it?

Thanks Philip.

Hi Philip,

Welcome to the site. I saw that you just posted a Beastmaker Mountain module of which you should plug as well:

Beastmaker Mountain

If you were to EBay it and it is in Near Mint condition that you describe, I would be quite surpised if you got anthing less than $200.00 for it. As a matter of fact you may very well break $300.00 as the last one sold on EBay did. There a few members here that I know of for sure that are loloking for a copy. As for as to keep it or sell it, that is really for you to decide. :wink:

(Remember to sell it "US only" like the Beastmaker Mountain, in order to save us all some money over here.

)

Personally, I thought that last one was high, owing to a certain person from the UK trying to complete their collection.
Beastmaker has the same rarity as Blasted Lands, IIRC, yet goes for a third of the price just because it doesn't have a copy number scribbled on it. Makes no particular sense to me...

Anyhow, Philip. Keep or sell is your call, but trying private offers over here prior to eBay probably isn't going to hurt, to let you judge the interest and possibly take the plunge without having to cut percentages for third-parties.
JM-02c & Best wishes, either way.

actually blasted lands went very high

1. burnie bros were selling
2. me and blackmoore put way OTT bids in "thinking nobody sane enough would possibly want it that much" but hey there you go

its a very cool item though and it will always be in demand. and in the last 2 years, its rarer than the majority of the rares too

beastmaker should still pull you a fair few $ too. advertise them well and put up some nice pics and describe it v.well.

THANKFULLY i dont have to bid on these anymore

still after nanorien stones tho.

Thanks for helping. I was shocked at the estimated prices and will be listing Blasted Lands, after taking a bunch more pictures.

Philip.

Phil...

before you stick it on ebay though, would be worth you advertising it in the classifieds on this forum and possibly invite private offers.

if you stick it on ebay it is quite likely that someone from here will win it (looks at blackmoor

) and that being the case, you would save yourself a bunch of ebay fees. you havent got anything to lose by that of course, and if it didnt pan out to a figure that you had possibly been hoping for, you could put it on ebay anyway.

I may take a stab on it on ebay

I am always open to private offers as well

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!
