Seems like a high price. I would have paid $320 or so, are there any really "collectible" GURPS books that would have justified such a price? Sure, it's a lot so it helps amortize shipping costs, but still...

80 books. At $10.00 each, which is about right, that is $800.00, assuming no collectable ones in the bunch.

Otherwise, how much value on one of the pre-rough drafts of GURPS supers?

I've got that floating around. Probably not worth the cost of postage.

Regards,

Stephen

$10/book still seems high. GURPS books seem to go for between $3 and $20 depending on condition and collectability, but the bulk are in the $8 range I think. With a large lot a lower price makes sense.

That said, now I kinda wish I had bid =)

It looks quite cool, but I'd want to paint it, and it's a bit more than I want to spend.....

CSIO 1st (tape on the maps, but the booklets appear to be excellent).
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5179360877
$15 with 5 3/4 days to go
- The maps (and "I" booklet) were still available relatively cheaply from <fencert> until a few months ago, but only appears to have the "collectors edition" mapset at higher cost, now.

JG bits-and-bobs (possibly incomplete)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5179428845
$2.99 opening with 6 days to go

Various Traveller and JG for Traveller items up at Crazy Egor's within the next couple of hours; a good number still at sub $1 start

Some JG maps...

another BIN Tarantis at $15 (or $6.99 start with <6 days to go)

- the last three copies went to BINs. Guido's non-BIN copy sold for $34.

Another 1st CSIO Guidebook (plus "I" & "J" (?), not shown in scan). Not so good condition as the above, but you'd think they were common...

Someone else asked me to post these:

They're two Varanae books, and we think they might be interesting.

I've got the 3 Varanae books; I highly recommend them. I remember liking them very much when I read thru them.

Yes, but possibly not with those shipping charges outwith the U.S.

U.S.
"Boxed and Padded $5.95 Non-Priority in Lower 48 States"
Worldwide
"Boxed and Padded (Shipping Cost plus $7.95 US)".
And with only a $3 discount ("usually") per extra item, but you have to email them to see if they're feeling that generous.

(Plus the seller's gouging further still by claiming a USPS Global Priority box is "usually" about $20-25...).

Oh, and "Feedback will only be left once I receive feedback"...

Oh well, at least it's kinda in black and white (not that I've read every line on every auction every time...).

Certainly got a big "huh!" from me, though.
A USPS Global Priority box should usually go for $15 for 4 pounds (although some post offices appear to have different applications of the rules).
They want $27.95-$32.95 for the first item... and $24.95-$29.95 for each one thereafter. Surely not???
Six booklets in a $15 box = up to $182.70 in postage & packing charges, if so...

Yeah, I really am not keen on paying sellers who are trying to supplement their income solely through their s&h. I would much rather bid $20.00 and pay $4.00/$4.50 s&h than bid $15.00 and pay $10.00 s&h even if the final total is the same, because I view the outrageous s&h as dishonesty by the seller. To be honset my bid will actually be lower due to the dishonesty factor, if I even bid at all.

A Variable weight Global priority Box weighing 4 lbs (the max weight) costs $26.00 to ship to the UK. Over 4 lbs cannot be mailed Global priority.
Same box to UK weighing 1lb costs $10, 2 lbs cost $15 & 3lbs costs $21.

I bought both books and another item from the seller. They charged me $24.95 total for shipping USPS Global Priority to the UK. I'll keep you posted buy their feedback indicates that I'll probably get my books.

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