Time Moves on for this Collector
Feb. 4th, 2005 05:01 pmA couple of days ago, when I was doing a web-search for more info on The Bats of Mercille, one of the items I'm now selling, I came across the following newsgroup posting in Google groups:
A Humorous Posting
Yep, that was me searching for two of those three items I'm now selling, which answers the question of where I'd managed to find these things (the possible answer: USENET newsgroups; I'd forgotten that they were pretty good resources).
Anyway, the date was September 16, 1992, a long, long time ago.
Looking over that list, I found the Ars Magica, Hidden Kingdom, RuneQuest supplements, and Traveller supplements, and all the magazines except White Wolf #1 (though I've since had someone offer it to me, many years later).
I found some Man, Myth & Magic stuff, but it's now gone; I probably gave it away.
I never found Pendragon 2nd Edition because it didn't exist (they skipped straight from 1st to 3rd as far as I've ever been able to tell, which is pretty typical Chaosium), nor the Creeks & Crawdads supplement (which I don't even know why I was looking for, since I don't think I've ever owned the base game).
My Ars Magica sale is looking well. After a reminder to my old ars-magica list the price jumped straight up to $200 for the lot, which is what I'd been guessing. That'll be nice money for me to buy new games with, despite what our idiot president has done to the exchange rates, and hopefully some nice collectibles for the buyers.
A Humorous Posting
I've been looking for a couple of different games for some time. If anyone
has any of the following, and thinks they might be interested in selling them,
let me know. I'd be willing to give good prices on all of them.
ARS MAGICA
==========
Broken Covenant of Calebais, First Edition [The first edition can be recognised
by a black and red cover]
Jump-Start Kit : The Bats of Mercille [A small intro scenerio sold at GenCon
four years ago]
CREEKS & CRAWDADS
=================
Never Cry Crawdad [The C&C Supplement, from Crustacium Games]
HIDDEN KINGDOM
==============
Advanced Hidden Kingdom Campaign Supplement I [a set of loose leaf pages]
MAN, MYTH & MAGIC
=================
Almost anything. Especially the boxed rules.
PENDRAGON
=========
Second Edition Rules [A boxed set that has three books inside, labeled
"Squire's Book", "Knight's Book" and "King's Book"]
RUNEQUEST
=========
Broken Tree Inn [Judges Guild Supplement]
City of Lei Tabor [Judges Guild Supplement]
Duck Pond [Judges Guild Supplement]
RQ Judges Shield [Judges Guild Supplement]
Legendary Duck Tower and Other Tales [Judges Guild Supplement]
RQ character Sheets [Pad of Fifty Sheets from Games Workshop]
TRAVELLER

BOARD GAMES
===========

MAGAZINES
=========

Wyrm's Footnotes #1-4
Anyways, thanks for your time. If you've got any of these around, just
taking up space, please drop me a line. Some of them are somewhat obscure,
and I've been trying to get ahold of them for ages.
Thanks,
Shannon
