Did someone say Grab Bags?! This year there will be two types of grab bags for sale. They are quite different from one another, so make sure you read their descriptions and select the one that is right for you. Get yours while supplied last! Why these grab bags? Well...
Mama Frog, you see, has finally came completely unglued when she realized that the tadpoles and I had five actual buildings full of war game stuff. I cannot even walk into my upstairs office right now without climbing over boxes of stuff. In light of that, and based on last year's hugely successful sale, we have decided to offer two types of grab bags this year...
$100 Grab Bags
This grab bag consists of Frog God Games and Necromancer Games overstocks and back stock that we need to move out. There will be 200 of these for sale until they run out. Each box will contain $300 minimum value. The boxes are packed at random and full of great titles and rare items!
$150 Grab Bags (Bill's Collection)
This grab bag will contain items out of my personal collection. Ok, I won't lie to you-my Vampire Queen, Pharaoh, and all my Judges Guild collection is not in these boxes. Mama is letting me keep most of my Level 4-5 rares and my JG stuff. That being said, there are many items from the 1980s, 1990's and 2000's, and maybe even a few from the 1970s'. Many of these are Level 3 rares, and some 4-5's might slip in if I have 2 copies.
Anyone who has seen my collection knows it is quite vast (and I often forget and buy 2 of something). These boxes may also contain painted GW miniatures (many painted by professionals-I was a ranked player in the 1990's) and use by me in GW Grand Tournaments. This may not sound that cool-put most are metal, and my worst paint score at a tournament was 29/30 points.

Ps. Each grab bag is in its own priority box
That makes more sense now based on what I got.
I ordered 3 Grab Bags, 2 of the $100 and 1 of the $150. I was only sent 2 and only 1 has arrived so far. Still no shipment email on the other Grab bag. Not sure which one has not been sent, will know when the other box arrives.
If it helps, I ordered a $150 box. It arrived yesterday in one big priority box. Inside were two cardboard boxes, both numbered 55. Each box had stuff in it.
Post here about your haul. Anyone got one of the rares yet ?
How are you knowing which are rares and which aren't?
I got several older Dragon magazines, a couple of the 1970s Tunnels and Trolls type things, and the great majority was Swords and Wizardry stuff. I didn't hit any really rare stuff that I could tell.

How are you knowing which are rares and which aren't?
Well d'oh! You post what you got here and then apparently Bill tells you. ;-)
(Or you do some research and check nobleknight or the acaeum or ebay's sold items search)
A nice haul there Dragnmoon. Lots of Razor Coast, Blackmoor stuff is somewhat rare I think.
Best place to check is eBay. It looks like most of the box sets are 50 bucks (probably still cover price).
Keep them and play them!
Check ebay sold items search for real value or ebay auction prices for perceived one. Nobleknight Games also probably has them listed
The minis can be worth quite a lot, too, but are hard to identify
Ask the guys at the acaeum, there are a few d20 collectors there, and a few threads on DCC on their forums.
Apparently dcc3.5 is a rarity and worth quite a lot (>500$)! Do congrats, you lucked out.
Also there's a dcc51 up on eBay right now. I'm watching it to see what it's worth too... I'm guessing $50-75.
If you sell them make sure to post a link to the auction on the acaeum marketplace forum. Or you could advertise there and make a deal without the horrendous eBay fees...
Grab bags are on sale at the daily deals.
Come on people, tell me what you got and what you did with the stuff.
Welp, dammit, the extended coupon got me to order a $150 box today. I was busy on Friday and forgot, and lo and behold the coupon was in my inbox this morning as well. I guess it was meant to be.
You got me, Frogs.
One of 2 boxes arrived today in Houston TX. It held 17 books ( 3 hardcover and 14 softcover). So I don't know which one it was that arrived.
Eep the $80+ shipping was a bit of a pain (silly USPS increases), but awaiting to see what arrives.
I was told we had to get plants and furniture for the garden so couldnt afford the $80 shipping costs
I got one of the $100 boxes earlier this year. Came with the S&W versions of Razor Coast, one night stands and several of the Necromancer Games books. Still one of the best deals out there if you like the old 3e NG stuff. I like the randomness of it.
@MichaelSandar, Until you mentioned it I never noticed that the 3 HC books, which are Razor Coast books, were for Sword & Wizardry system. I was wondering what I would do with 2 copies of Razor Coast.
