Look like anyone we know?[edit]And now that you've gone and made me suspicious, look at the bidding history. Four newbies bidding in even $5 increments. Maybe they're real, maybe one or more are shills. One of the newbies has a 50% feedback rating already. Sure it's a lot of stuff, but there's very little continuity in the lot. It doesn't look like a newbie-friendly auction to me...looks like something a reseller would target, so I find it very odd that four newbies are in a bidding war over it. Newbies can be rather unpredictable...but this auction seems "off" to me.

But, if so, is it collectable?

Once again, why is this guy buying stuff if he supposedly is selling his dead brothers two storage sheds worth of items that he doesn't know the worth of? At best he's a liar. At worst, he's a liar and thief.Mike B.

Impossible to guarantee which books were originally in which box!Books and boxes should be treated separately though, IMHO, since the assembly process appears to have been done on a gradual rather than "print run" basis. (Thus, an "early" 4th- will have a fine print box, but a "later" 4th- can have a box which more closely resembles the rougher 5th print ones).

Isn't it an OCE, i.e. a 6th print??I've controlled on Acaeum and I think so but ... I wait for words of wisdom from you, sage people (no irony; absolutely no irony).thank you very much
