You lie around waiting to snipe something like this and the close early to sell to someone else on the board. :evil:

Did you really get it for $100 or do you have to pay $150 for shipping too?

All's fair I suppose. I guess I might have done that to someone at some point.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Alan, I didn't even have the chance to snipe. That's an offer someone couldn't refuse.

You and me are probably the only two that don't have one. Everyone else here is rich.

I'm certainly not rich, and I don't have one of these. But today is a happy day for me.

I just completed my first set of eBay auctions ever, and it's shaping up to be a net profit of about $12 USD.

Hopefully I won't have any horror stories to post... :)

Funny, I was about to post this auction and ask if I paid too much. I'm a big Burroughs fan, but had not seen this before. Is that a fair price? When I put in my first bid, the seller and I had agreed on closing the auction for $40, but my max got outbid so I had to bid to get on top again.

The last one on eBay sold for $305. Granted it was a first edition print and I assume your's is a later print, but I was planning on going higher.

on a scale of 1-10 - 1 being poor and 10 being rich, i am solidly stuck at about 1.3

Man, I saw the WoM auction go up about 15 minutes after it started... didn't have a bid on it yet. I ALMOST emailed the seller asking if he had a BIN price in mind... if he'd said "I'll let you have it for $40", I don't know whether I would snap it up or I would have let him in on its true value.

If he'd offered it to me for $100, the the wouldn't have been an issue, I would have taken it for sure.

Regards

Mike

I don't know, it seems to go up and down. Keepontheborderlands sold a copy a few weeks ago for $450... that was after he relisted it when the original listing has passed in, not meeting the $300 reserve. I've seen a couple of other copies go in the last year for around $300, and a couple sell at below $200.

I've been after a copy myself for a while, but persoonally I think the W0M market is overheated, and the book is simply not worth that much. The lowest I've seen the book go for is $160, which IMO is about right for it - I would put its true value at between $120-160 - but having said that, all of the auctions over the last year or two have gone for more so who can say?

Regards

Mike

Non-D&D TSR - Warriors of Mars

(last statement; and also that $50-60 quote, in context, I think...)

Remember there was another discussion about that and the "resistance point" for most people was in the $120-150 band, as it is for many other items.

And you paid the original price you'd agreed...

Nope; that'll be first (and only?) print, I'm fairly sure.
