Thork, your two module bundle went for a whopping $125!!! My brother bought it, he didn't have a clue what he was bidding on except it looked cool and people kept upping his bid. Thanks so much!

Holy crap! Which 2 modules were these?
Congrats to all, and thanks to whomever for providing this service. I wish all old-school cons would do this.
Yeah, I watched the auction. It was cool.
On second thought, I might be impolite in asking you to post such a list. While the auction was publicly held (sort of) you might not wish the exact data to be publicly known.
Perhaps just a list (in order) of the top 10 items?
Did you guys not get the two AS&SH adventures I sent for the raffle / auction? I mailed them Priority on Saturday, and they promised me a Wednesday delivery at latest . . .
I'm happy to hear the CZ set I personalized to the con helped generate some funding.

I also didn't see the copy of SWN I bid on (and I did see a copy of one of the ASS&H module, Jeff, so I think they arrived) -- maybe the silent auction results aren't posted, Mike?

Yes Jeff, thanks a bunch. The AS&SH modules went in the Silent Auction. Thanks for helping support the con!

I haven't posted the Silent Auction items and I might not post the winner, just the amounts (or just the titles). However, all Silent Auction items except four (to two different individuals) have already been distributed and the money collected, so if anyone hasn't been contacted by now, you didn't win anything.

Also, just a quick note to everyone that donated something: If you don't see your item listed in the auctions/raffles/silent auctions, there are a few reasons. First, there is a limited amount of room for everything, as well as a limited amount of time. Some items will go into the con warehouse until next year's con. Sometimes an item will be given out as a special prize (this year, a signed module Guy Fullerton sent me ended up going to the high bidder in the Charity Game in appreciation for the bidding going over $150). Trust me when I say all donations are appreciated and EVERYTHING will eventually be used (particularly in the Silent Auction). Some of the signed items especially end up going for more than cover price, and considering we got them free, they really help defray the con expenses. Thanks to everyone that donated this year!

$1350 for a single sheet (or is it two sheets? - EDIT: apparently it's three) of collected tables (i.e. something that, as I understand it, anybody who owns a copy of Supplement I and has access to a photocopier and a pair of scissors could make for themselves) is, umm, remarkable

Yeh it's not my cup of tea. I'd rather have a brown box, or an Orange B3, something more visually exciting. But they are stupidly rare (given away at early Gencons) for insertion into the orignal OD&D boxed sets). Very few survive (only a handful of copies), so completists covet them. They do have some very slight changes to the charts in the booklet.

Yeah, that's why I'm not a very good collector (well, that plus lack of $). Rarity alone isn't enough to get me excited.
