Yeah, I agree with that assesment. :wink: Considering the last batch was Frank's and went for something like $240.00 for just the G Series, I would say probably at least in the $800-$900 range.

*g* I don't recall whether John mentioned the internals are three-hole punched and the previous owner gave them to their kids to doodle on... Or not! ;)



Am presuming you remember the original auction, Brian? (Have an approximate idea for the Gs and Ds since I decided not to bid that time... :?).

*waves to my nemesis on later Ozzie Gs & Ds auctions*

Yeah, but might have been a lot less had you been on holiday for a couple of weeks! :D

One of those nice times when a small and unclear image was hiding the fact that the modules had hardly been touched.



Something I forgot to mention is that the perforated pages in the USA/UK monos are not perforated in my Oz copies. And non of them have tri-fold covers.  How about the other owners?



And the same goes for the reference sheet in the Oz Basic rules.



I presume that Jedko wanted to keep the cost down.

Yep; I remember you mentioning off-board that you wished you had other copies you could handle more...



Had to have a bit of a jab at firm estimates being made without any scans or indication of condition, although I think you were encouraging that John!

And a house worth $xxx,xxx...

Yeah, I know it can't be fun trying to balance all that. :(



I'm with Brian on the estimate, even if he just pulled that out of a hat. Notice you didn't ask me off-board whereas you did w.r.t. that other item possibly-for-sale. ;)



(Don't think you'd be interested in some only VG-ish Ozzie Gs & Ds in part exchange, either, under the circumstances?)

Nah, just an educated guess based on what previos Aussies have gone for versus what a shrinked set will end up doing to the value. 8O

And interesting rear covers.  Note the G3 artwork on G2.  And is that D1 artwork on G1?

And continuing the Oz theme...

...didn't recall those were still shrinked. Only a vague recollection of the auction and the final price. (*mutters*) (is still in the archives here, that)



A couple of spares were around $40-50, but otherwise mostly $80-100 with a few crazy prices on top (*points to listing*).



In all honesty, John might get best $ splitting the mods and letting there be an unholy fight over them... 8O :(

Will have to mull that one. Anyway early train to London. So, got to sort my stuff out and get an early night. Bye...

Thanks John!



*goes off to sulk* :twisted:



Both my wins from Oz lost at least a grade in transit from lousy packaging. Looks like you found someone who made a very good job of that!

Oh, my bad :oops: , based on the way its presented on the site, I thought that it was an unopened set. Even still should net quite pretty penny however it goes down. :)
