Master Of Ravenloft is available at amazon for $5 or less. (used) Though on amazon too there are more listed in the $ 20 to $ 30 price range now. Which makes me shake my head. Certainly it's a sellers market nowadays with people listing anything they think might be valuable for sky high fantastic prices and others following suite.
I would look for it in a second hand book store if i wanted it. From a collector's perspective i think it is a oddity/curio at best.
There should be a review here on the site somewhere.

The auction above is still out there. IMHO it is a very good deal (Gaz 1,2,3,5 for $60 or make an offer. I bet if you offered him $40 or 50 he would take it too.The Giamarga wrote:In the picture it is Gaz 1, 2, 3 and 5. The auction text with the book codes also lists Gaz V (WW15024). So definately an excellent deal.Dimitri Mazieres wrote:Gazetteers I through IV, for $60! (or you can make an offer)
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to get this series of excellent books!
BTW googling that WW15024 code i found sone interesting links:
I dimly remember that the pdf of Gaz 5 was available for free for a time on rpgnow. Seems this person uploaded his version here..
This italian webshop seems to have a Gaz V in stock for 25 Euro. An excellent deal for all europeans. (They also have Gaz 1 for 5 EurosMany of the other items (incl the Tarokka deck) are listed as "in riassortimento" which i take as "available on back order" which in this case is the same as sold out. "Disponible" = "in stock". I have no idea if the web shop is defunct of not though...
Speaking of Gaz 5 i still have one extra copy of it and my LGS carries another one. So if anyone in Germany or Europe needs one pm me.

I hadn't noticed that it was Gaz V instead of IV. That being the case, it's indeed a great deal ($15 per gazetteer, or less if you make an offer).
And yes, there's a lot of price speculation going on nowadays. Some sellers ask quite high sums for certain items for no apparent reason, or just because sellers in general seem to push prices up. For example, Chilling Tales has had its apparent value increased lately (I finally managed to get a copy for a decent price, though
). Dark Sun products increased their value quite a lot after the 4e announcement. Planescape items have been consistently expensive for some time now.
Noble Knight Games is a good place to check for the generally perceived value of items by their sellers.

Limited Edition it may be, but don't let yourself fool you into thinking it should be much more expensive than the regular version. I got mine for around $10 in the good ole days...
As for Gaz V, I'll list mine on ebay, but because of the high postage costs from europe to the us, I'm guessing it won't sell. Anyways today is the last day of the ebay.com promotion where you don't pay any listing fees...

This is true. The limited edition is no more than the regular core book with a pretty cover and a fabric bookmark. I only got mine because it was quite cheap and my version of the core book was in Spanish (which was quite inconvenient when I tried to match certain game terms with their English counterparts).The Giamarga wrote:Limited Edition it may be, but don't let yourself fool you into thinking it should be much more expensive than the regular version.

Still, that one sold for a pretty penny.
Btw, this guy is selling what seems to be printed copies of the Night of the Walking Dead and Ship of Horrors modules that WotC put in their website. Is that legal?

RL DMG currently at $0.99
Forbidden Lore boxed set, shrinkwrapped! Starting at $0.99. A great chance to get the original Tarokka cards and Dikesha dice.

I can't believe that Forbidden Lore boxed set in shrinkwrap went for only $6.50...
In other news, here's a RL DMG starting at $0.99. It's from the same seller who supposedly sold the last one, so maybe some care is advised...
