Nope, he is not a member.  He is a reseller from Italy and yes I also thought that was very high for that lot. Considering there is 35 modules that are not even in that great of shape, not good.

This guy actually makes me pretty mad, he's a reseller and his prices start pretty high. He snaps up a lot of Known World stuff in Europe & then tries to sell them off at high prices  (Check the BIN prices for his Gaz series)

Granted this is an Amazon auction, but still.



Best of Dragon Magazine I anyone?:

I really dislike people who sell photocopies of stuff, regardless if it's free or not.  Why not just put the files on CD-ROM like every other assclown.  :x

Hopefully the "mildew/moisture damage" on #18 & #21 isn't lurking on the other DLs and Q&Qs, if the former...

That's quite a jump; and I'd've thought Brette had most/all of those, already, judging by those numbers which have come up for sale.

If Brette's reckoning the others are "worth" $50 each, I'd be curious to know...

No joke! Congrats.

(And I still say that RPGA3 was fairly priced for the BIN ).





p.s. UK zines vs. US zines ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5241509054 = $3.75 each, even in a hyped series of auctions). No contest!

A number of originals were going for $2-4 each some time back whereas most/all of the lower numbered copies in this bundle are reprints. Nice, perhaps, but maybe not quite that nice, IMHO.

(btw. Yes, I thought my bid was somewhat OTT as well. And I'd've been sure Brette had them all as well... Possibly bidding for the same reason I was??).



I do hope the seller finds #16. *fingers crossed*

I'm missing issue 8 and either 21 or 22 whichever turns out to to the misprint, you never know when you need some to trade away though;) The condition of these looks quite good so worth the $$ especialy when you save on mulpile postage costs from the UK (an arm and a leg folks)...

This is the first time I have seen all the issues of Q&Q together, I have half of them so it would have been good to tick them off my list of wants, oh well... I think that there is a bit of runequest content in these as well, and I have found that RQ collectors can be even crazier than I. But at least out of all the world there are only 2 crazies out there that would bid this high;) I would of liked the DL's as well, but I'm afraid that the overall condition of the lot put me off... the obvious staple rust in the photos, the mildew description etc...

Once again the overall condition of these put me off, and I only need 2 of them listed, I couldn't justify the expense for the 2 when one of them ( 3) wasn't in very good condition... once agin condition is an important factor.. I'm just starting to get a bit fussier I suppose...



feel free to ping me if anyone has any zines/mags that they want to get rid of;)

Brette:)

Heya William!

dathon wrote:I was worried about that too, but took a chance with a big bid on the DLs anyway because I've rarely seen them for auction, even though I only needed a few from this lot.

"Big bid" is an understatement, IMHO. The DLs are amongst the easiest UK 'zines to obtain even though they were/are deservedly popular.



The first half dozen or so (as ever!) are rare enough and a copy of #1 went for silly money at a convention whilst DL was still running. (Wasn't recommended on a quality basis, however ).

dathon wrote:Needless to say, if anyone has DLs for sale please send me a PM. I have most of the Q&Qs, but if anyone has one or two then...

*g*. I thought you told me you just had a large box of 'zines somewhere in storage, rather than "on hand".

Kinda gave me the impression you might be more willing to sell than buy (even though Brette and Mike<mdr003> (IIRC) didn't manage to obtain any more "positive sounds" from you).



I'm still looking to replace some other titles that were given away/went AWOL, as well as pick up those I never had...

dathon wrote:Or if anyone sees them on eBay for 99 pence apiece please, please let me know...

They were indeed!

Several of us agreed not to cross-bid on dups and ended up with copies falling flat at 99 pence through a couple of pounds for others. (One issue might've fetched £5-6 or so, IIRC).
