Quite a few years ago I was reading the glowing reviews by those who had copies way back then, and seeing them sell occasionally here and there I never seemed able to snag a copy...Anyway; I eventually did obtain my first copy of Starstone and I am not ashamed to say that I overpaid for that copy too (it is in rough condition).I never regretted that purchase and I was able to upgrade to a nicer though still not close to minty copy later (I actually paid FAR less for that 2nd copy).This most recent pucrhase was easily worth all that I paid (to me) and I was actually ready to go substantially higher than the ending amount (hence my last bid which was unneeded).Once I have it in hand, my first copy will be listed for sale and I am quite sure that it will sell for a lot less than I paid for it several years ago... :lol: Regardless; even with it's many obvious flaws I will be somewhat sad to see it go.Very few have called me either wise or prudent.
