Yeah, I expect that prices will be inflated because Dave owned something and not because it has particular value of its own. At least, that's what happened with much of Gary's personal collection. :? |

I've seen links to the big announcement, but no links to actual auctions. I know they are supposed to start tomorrow, but it would be nice to know where to go to look around. |

GeekDad has more details on the contents of the "collection" with pictures: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/05/ge ... -revealed/ The Hill Cantons has some interesting comments on what it mean if much of this information will be kept from the eyes of the public: http://hillcantons.blogspot.com/2012/05 ... omain.html -Havard |

First batch of the auction is up: http://www.ebay.com/sch/the_collectors_ ... 513&_pgn=1 Its actually pretty interesting to see which items Arneson owned. Some of them surprise me. For instance I like that he was buying BECMI stuff as late as in the 1990s :) -Havard |

Indeed. Thanks, noble viking! However, it seems it's really a collector's collection, mostly. Some of the items are shrinkwrapped, even. That, or Mr Arneson really didn't like Harnmaster. :wink: Don't know how to say it better, but really, this feels like looting a corpse to me. I appreciate that the content is made public, but unless there's really a dream item there that I'll use for actual play, I think I will skip. Though I have to confess that I smiled broadly when I learned that the master played MERP. :D |
