MARKET PLACE: Ravenloft's interesting auctions and links

[brass]

Well, this is something not usually seen as of late: a sealed ArtHaus Tarokka deck, starting at $1.99!

Looks like US only for shipping. I'm contacting the seller. A fine find.

And with 2 typos in the title no less: it won't show if you search for Tarokka.

Well, I hope that post didn't alert too many people outside the Fraternity, so that someone from around here can get it at a reasonable price.

Meanwhile, here's a RL Player's Handbook at $4.99, with worldwide shipping available, as well as Volumes I, II & IV of the Gazetteers.

I just bought Monstrous Compendium Appendix III: Creatures of Darkness for $A20 and Van Richten's Guide to Werebeasts for $A15. I was extremely excited by these finds in downton comic store, but then I realized I was actually looking to buy Children of the Night: Werebeasts. Whoops.

Not to worry, any antique Ravenloft book is a treasure in my eyes. I have a few in my collection, but whenever I buy something new I always seem to discover some new tidbit within the pages.

May Ravenloft never die.

Well, this must be a special week, or something, because here's another Tarokka deck on auction, albeit this one is used. However, the seller offers worldwide shipping, so that's a plus for all the non-US residents who were after this elusive item.

The text says it has 66 cards, while it should have 68 cards. Now if only some of the instruction cards are missing, that would be ok... I already posted a question to the seller

According to the seller's reply, it's missing two cards, then

In other news, here's the Bleak House boxed set from the same seller, though it appears complete.

A shrinkwrapped 25th Anniversary Ravenloft adventure, starting at $9.99.

I asked a more detailed question, describing the arcana and major arcana cards and if he'd look it up for me but he didn't answer yet.

It ended at $76. A lot less than i would have thought, but the typos in the title were quite bad...

Not too bad, anyway. Maybe the coming holidays had something to do with the relatively "low" sell price.

Meanwhile, here's a RL Player's Handbook starting at $4.99, with free US shipping, as well as offering worldwide shipping.

Normally this deck has 68 cards. There should be 14 "Major Arcana" cards, i.e. cards with a title (like "The Beast") and no number, 40 "minor arcana" with a number (2 of swords). The rest are (12) instruction cards and the 1 front and 1 back card.

According to the new pics in the auctions, i believe that all 54 arcana cards are present. Apparently one of the instruction cards is missing...

Damn, damn, damn it all! I go out of town for a few days, and 2 Tarokka decks pop up? Bloody freaking... argh! I've been searching for months!

[Damien Logos]

Whoohoo! Finally got a 3rd edition Tarokka deck! The final bid? $69.88! Huzzah! Talk about a steal!

I've got every book that was done for the 3.0/3.5 Ravenloft run, including the Tarokka Deck. Can anyone give me a ball park idea what a reasonable price is? If almost $70 is a "steal", I can't imagine what an average price would be.

[Gonzoron of the FoS]

For some reason, the tarokka deck in particular is very rare. It usually commands upwards of $100 on ebay. Other "rarities" from the 3e line seem to be the last few books, particularly Gaz V and DT&DL.
