mahrundl that is an astonishing price even for such a rare piece of T&T memorabilia. Like you, I'd like to think the eventual purchaser will be allowing FB to release a pdf version in 2018

The scary thing is, there have only been 7 bids. The two people bidding have jumped the price significantly at several points.
I'll be watching to see what it eventually goes for. But yes, even for such a rarity, that's a very high price.

Like you, I'd like to think the eventual purchaser will be allowing FB to release a pdf version in 2018 I do hope that you are right. However there is a roleplaying completist community and I think it is most likely one of those, rather than an avid player of T&T. I joined at 5e so consider all previous versions interesting, but not ones I would actively seek to play. Versions since (7e, 7.5e and dT&T) have been incorporated into my play. I realise not all T&Ters are of like mind, and I hope I am wrong.

It's in nice shape also. I've been hoping to get that one but not at that price. You can see in the pictures (and the 4th Edition is the same) the paper is thin and bleeds through. One of the reason getting a good scan of this will be important to preserve it.

Blimey, went for over £900 in the end. Ridiculous.

Yep, US $1225 was the final price. That's just insane!
Looking at the bid history, a third bidder showed up right near the end and tried to sneak away with it. So there are at least 3 people out there who were willing to pay US $1200 for those two items. Wow...

Just think - the Fellowship went through the time and difficulty of the Kickstarter campaign to fund dTnT, when they could have raised the money using an old ditto machine.
