Various lots on ebay

I figured that was an okay price - I NEVER see those things.

What would be a good price, should another come up somewhere?

Well, of course everything is worth exactly what you (or the marked) want to pay for it.
But in my opinion no magazine is worth that amount. I'd say a fair price for that particular magazine would be around £15 - £20.

But unfortunately some people are willing/can afford to pay those sort of inflated prices and the sellers are quick to notice. Supply and demand I suppose.
Right now we are seeing an increase in HQ prices. Only a year or so back E/B QP were at ~£200. Now they are near £300 (Actually saw one at £350!!!).
But that doesn't change that it's way over priced!

Very expensive, especially for a damaged copy.

I just received a copy of Dragon Quest for 20 pounds, shipping included. Most of that was for shipping :\

It has the board in excellent shape, the 6 plastic heroes still sealed in the original plastic bag, the 6 Ral Partha metal minis still in the original blister, all the dice, the rulebook, questbook, and story continues leaflet, and ALL the cards still shrinkwrapped! So basically unplayed and new!!! The only thing missing are all the paper models. The game had a few sheets of paper monsters/NPC's that you had to pop out and glue into a triangle. Looked very cheap. But I have lots of minis that I can use instead Quite happy with it.
I might just actually learn the rules and try it out sometime. Seems like a D&D light game. Good way to get into D&D easily perhaps.

The board is awesome. It is the second most attractive boardgame board to play HeroQuest on, right after the original HeroQuest board.
I have the game and am trying to sell it, because I have no need for it after plotting out many a HeroQuest board in 3.7 and 4.0 cm square scales and double wide and single wide corridors.
Sjeng, if you want the paper minis I guess I could scan mine for you before I sell it. Drop me a PM if you're interested.
They are not bad for paper minis I can tell you.

[Sjeng]

Oh yes, please scan all those papers in 300 dpi! That would be great!

[knightkrawler]

Will do. If you haven't heard anything about this from me by next weekend, remind me.

Here's a pretty good one - only 2 bids so far, and 4 days left. Someone might get lucky though.

I've been on the fence about buying Descent 2nd edition for a long time. Because it needs an Overlord player, who tries to thwart the heroes, I was put off. The minis and tiles look nice though.
The cheapest online shop sells it for €62,-. I do however fancy the D&D boardgames (Ravenloft, Ashardalon, Drizzt) and was thinking to buy those instead. They need no overlord, and also have nice minis and tiles.

But now someone near where I live is selling a Descent 2nd ed. + 3 expansions. Main game is pre-painted quite nicely (!) and will cost me €50,-. The 3 expansions (Labyrinth of Ruin, Lair of the Wyrm, Trollfens) are new in shrink, and cost €32, €21, €18 respectively.
I'm sorely tempted to get it all.

In addition he has Claustrophobia (€30,-) + addon De Profundis (€20,-). Those also look very nice, with good components and pre-painted minis.

Everything together: €201,-
I'd say go for it all, right? Thoughts? I'm gonna go visit him tomorrow.

I got that bundle for half that price including the lieutenant packs. But it's merely an investment for me.
That price is only worth it if you plan on actually playing the game. Let me remind you, there's not much to salvage for HQ from Descent v2.
The minis are off-scale with the notable exception of some big monsters, and there's no useful markers.
Dungeon accessories are painted on, the tiles very very specific.
