I have two of these and I am thinking of selling my opened one.  What is it worth nowdays?

More important is there intest on the board to sell it here or off to Ebay :D

It is the unsigned version.

Happy New Year everybody!!

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Probably $75 or so if opened; maybe $125 if still in the shrink.  Just guesses, of course.  Prices still seem a little on the low side.

Hi Jeff,

I believe Mr. Bombadil is right on the money (no pun intended  :wink: ), as I recently bought a S. A. set from BClarkie for $113 that was opened, but still in SW. To be honest, I bid more thinking it would go for $200, so I was pleasantly surprised.

One recommendation though, I would mention everything that is in it, as I never knew until I saw the listing. Even though the G1-3 were re-prints, I was glad to have nice NM copies of those, plus the rare L3, which seems pretty cool, but not one of the best modules I've read. I will have to see how it plays.

Here is how BClarkie posted the contents:
"Reprints of the original classic dungeon modules: B2-Keep of the Borderlands, G1-Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, G2-The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl, G3-Hall of the Fire Giant King, I6-Ravenloft, and S2-White Plume Mountain. It also contains a replica of the original Dungeons and Dragons rulebook, a book outlining the history of TSR with essay by Gary Gygax, the RARE last ever produced AD&D module L3 Deep Dwarven Delve by Len Lakofka and finally a specially created art print by Jeff Easley"."

Hope that helps you make your decision  :)


"Okay, we turn the corner and see a Purple 'WHAT' !?!" . . (the DM rolls a 20 or so he says) . . It all went black right after that.

I'll keep an eye on that one.  Heck, I just want an SA G1 so my box will be "complete".  (So if anyone has a spare one...let me know.)

$65 worst case, $90 at best.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

With no L3 there is no way that set is getting $65.

The one I won by bidding $100.00 was opened, and was missing the TSR history book & the artwork--so if anyone has one of each of those and would like to sell them off, let me know...... :?:  At least the one I got had L3 Deep Dwarven Delve in it.  
===============================================
BTW, the supposed module L4--has anyone heard anything lately?  (The thread I'm likely to be sent to hasn't had anything in months.)

L4 is still partially complete. It will be published by Dragonsfoot.orgsometime this year hopefully. You'll find threads over there about it.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.
