Well I couldnt let it sit any longer. That and I looked thru mine and it has a lot of hi-lighting in the books. So if anyone was interested in that one they can have a shot at my old one, just PM me.

Good move, Mike. I went back-and-forth over it myself, and was just about to bin it. Nice one!

ask a silly question

Q: how many pages are in the brown booklet (bottom right in your picture)? are any of the pages marked or written on? are the pages all attached or have they been separated from the booklet? Apr-09-07
A: No pages are marked or written on. the pages were all attached until I just inspected them, a few are loose now. It doesn't look like any is missing, Becky

Whoops!

Full points for honesty, though. Not every eBay seller would be so forthcoming.

I missed the auction, not that I would have won anything by the looks of it

but it was nice to see that the seller actually did relist them. Did he ever put up any pictures? Nice wins guys!

I asked for pics of the DG, but the seller said he didn't have a camera.

Well, the lack of pictures and almost zero description is what really scared me away. I mean don't get me wrong, at that price though even if he had 50 pictures at every possible angle and 5 pages of description, I would have still been smoked like a bad cigar 3 or 4 times over.

Red_bus also told me though that the seller refused any Non-US bidding, so I wonder if that would have any effect on the end bidding on any of the items? Probaly not, but still interesting.

I was hoping it was goint to slip through unnoticed, but to no avail.

That's interesting. When I asked the seller about them the first time he had them listed, he said shipping to Canada would be okay. Also, I thought the reason he pulled them was because he was going to relist them with pictures and better descriptions. I guess that never happened.

I would have been up for it - although like Brian, I would not have got close.

He sent me the following:

The recommendations by ebay for overseas sales,
other than Canada, was so security minded that I decided
not to list overseas. Could someone possibly bid for you in the US?

And I just thought... bleh.
But I did check in every now and again and the page view seemed to remain fairly low (finished at 170ish?) - so I thought it might go low ( so I was wrong there ), but then this just shows - it isn't so important how many people are bidding, but who.

I'm not good with print runs, but just incase this is what it is claiming to be:

1977 MM

A genuine first printing MM has the lizard logo, not the wizard.
