(Owl and Weasel 1 was £149.75). I can't see Dragon 1's or SR1's going for this - anyone got any auction history on Strategic Previews?What about fanzines - the most desirable/rarest/well written/shocking/etc?Can anyone actually sell later issues of Dragon magazine? *What are the best mags for reading?Should I sell my Dragon Magazine Archive now or wait a bit longer?Who has had an article printed? (Mark- I still occasionally search for Dungeon 6 - it's on my list of things to get....eventually!)Has anyone got a copy of Imagine 9 I can have?Just a few thoughts put out there really - I look forward to your input.* I thought that I couldn't give them away. But I've just done a deal to sell 80 (a stack about 2 feet high) for £6.00 - and I'm glad of it!!!

Oh yeh and they have to be in "like new" shape also. Some issues with games or special inserts (say the Deck of Many Things issue) actually can go for a bit more if marketed correctly...maybe $9 or so! I recently sold a bunch of otherwise nondescript Dragon mags by highlighting the fact they included Traveller, Gamma World or Top Secret articles and placing these keywords in the description...remember, not everyone can afford $100+ for the DRagon magazine archive anymore, or maybe they just want a particular issue for an article or adventure.

Certainly they seem to attract more interest and $$$ then by just listing the magazines themselves...and they ship a lot cheaper of course! Latest example... ** expired/removed eBay auction **
