If anyone here is also bidding on this, contact me. I really need to hunt down these older handbooks for research purposes. I’ll scan them and send them to PA, if I win.

just about 5 hours left, Gavin. I keep fingers crossed for you. Then P&P wouldn’t also be that much.

Thank you Master Ent.

If I lose, I am going to contact the buyer and ask him if I could scan them for posterity.

The really odd thing is that the seller is located in Brossard, Quebec, which was like half an hour’s drive away from where I used to live.

All this time trying to track down handbooks 1 and 2…and they were half an hour away.

if you win and could scan the pdfs, that would be ace — i wish someone could do the same with the prince august fantasy catalog “fantasy armies” — there was one for sale a while back.

Nope, my internet crashed out and I couldn’t bid.

The auction does not appear to have been won though. I contacted him anyway.

I have contacted the seller, and will contact the buyer and offer money or general karma.

I feel mildly like some dark ages historian chasing down a manuscript containing an older version of Beowulf. :p

No response from the seller.

I’m really sorry. Stupid internet.

Awesome!
We have handbooks 2 and 4 available (I scanned 4, and that poster y’all use) on the PA website.

We need handbook 1 and 3. And that seller was offering a few of those

Damnit.

Master Gildor, perhaps you might try contacting him also. I suspect a few enquiries from different people might shake some information loose.
