About $95 at the auction and another $50 in the dealers room.



I also sold off a bunch of stuff so in all I actually made money this con

Hollow World is a total win!  Night Below = Damn!

Nice haul of classic modules too.  I'm currently running the Ghost Tower of Inverness, and Dwellers + Hidden Shrine link together nicely too!

Great Haul.

I lucked out because the auction went until 3AM, at which point everything was going for minimum bids as most of the buyers had left.

I got Hollow World and the Companion set and a Basic (B/X) book for $1
I think Night Below was ~$10
and the modules all went for ~$5-8

Unfortunately I was also selling so some of my stuff got similarly shortchanged. But overall I'm not complaining.

dwellers of the forbidden city for the win!

That's some fat swag right there. Congratulations!

That auction was pretty crazy. At the time I dropped by around 10:30-11pm folks were bidding up _everything_. I got pretty good prices on the stuff I'd brought in.

Too rich for my blood at 10:30, and too late for my bones at 11pm.  I wish they had separate RPG and Board/War games auctions like they used to a while ago - I can understand if it was too much work, but it seems to me that the auction isn't worth me sticking around for anymore.

(Insert kids these days rant.)

Yeah, the organizers are well aware of the problems.

My solution would be to organize a "flea market" event where people could just go to a room and set up a little shop for a few hours. Make it a registered and paid for event like anything else.

That would insure a)crap stays out of the auction and b)the con still gets some revenue.

I guess the biggest problems are hotel space and upsetting dealers.

I'd also ban magazines and mainstream boardgames (monopoly, puzzles, risk, etc... just draw up a list of "these don't belong here" games. Combined with the flea market this seems fair) but that's just me.

If I never see another copy of Strategy and Tactics again in my life it will be too soon :0

As for separate RPG auction they usually don't have many there and they usually don't sell very well so I can see why they roll it in. A few years back they used to hold the RPG stuff until the last RPG sessions ended but buyers never showed up anyway so they stopped (now they just go late because the auctioneers don't like RPGs )

Very cool loot. The Hollow World boxed set and the classic modules immediately caught my attention.

Stonehell ain't bad either, mind you.

I think most of the RPG folks leave their last game at 11pm and go to the bar!  (I miss the bar at the old hotel at Hampton.)

I heard from an organizer that next year the hotel is actually going to be split in two - one tower will be Red Lion, the other will be Raddison.  Two reg desks and everything.  It boggles the mind.

:/

The old hotel was just better in general.

Nice haul.

The Hollow World is pretty cool, although I've never had a chance to use it myself (I only own the box set, none of the modules).

Night Below is one of the few 2e items I've always wanted.

Can't go run with Moldvay Basic D&D and the 1e AD&D modules.

Oh inside the Hallow World box was "Sons of Azca"



I missed a couple Gazzateers, which was a bummer but I didn't want to play what they went for

The Gazetteers actually fetch pretty high prices.

The Hollow World set was my first real campaign setting.  I love that box set, I've had two copies of it since 1994.

Hollow World was far from my first box set, but it was one of my favorites; it felt like it absolutely blew open the RC D&D game.
