Yeah.
I also have both editions and they don't seem overly different in context. I will say though that I like The Iron Wind. A lot of information for the small area is covers.

As compared to

I was expecting to pay more. Did everyone miss this one?

I'm not sure if Bob (charlotte_soon) has anymore coming up or not but I wouldn't be surprised.

1913 UK 1e LW, $105;
** expired/removed eBay auction **

Darned shame 'bout the single stain on the cover illo, otherwise that's a $400+ copy (doubled in the past 5 years or so?).
Anyhow, even with that, about a dozen times better than the frayed, beat-up, scribbled-on copy I should have somewhere, 'though I'm not 100% sure I've seen that since Uni (possibly "borrowed", there...).

A lil' bit OT, but I couldn't resist.

I think so, I just bought the other one. :wink:

Too bad its from Titan though, but at a $5.65 price tag including even the ridiculous s&h charges, you can't really lose there.

I still think the way to go with these is to bid on the auctions that Noble Knight puts up. Chances are you will get a second chance offer to buy them if you are the 3rd or 4th bidder. I bought a second set for $26 a while back but have seen the complete sets go for around $20 such as:

i've soptted that auction yestarday but i couldn't bid (even if i was attracted by the price) becuase of the seller... titan s the only guy who gave me a neg feedback simply as a revenge... unfortunately, even if i spot a woody at 50 USD on sale from him, i will never bid on his auctions any more!

I wonder if that seller....demoncleaver....is related to June Cleaver?

I have seen opened boxes of Thieves World go for as much as $30, but it generally goes for about half that.

The price did spike up there about 3-4 months ago.
