eBay listings

Some of the the C&S Sourcebooks were perfect bound (i.e with a flat glued spine) and so are prone, after 30 odd years, to crack and lose pages. Worth asking the seller if the spine is stapled/glued and if the latter, in good condition.

Wizards and Warfare. This is the rare edition. Only seen one before.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

JTAS 1-4

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0135713444

Are these things really so rare? Worth a bid or stay well clear? Anyone got these issues?

Admittedly, I know next to nothing about Traveller stuff, but about 2 or 3 months ago, I tried selling issues #9 & #13 on Ebay and I couldn't even garner a single bid on either one of them through 2 full weeks of auctions, the second week of which I had $0.99 opening bids for them. I ended up selling them along as "freebies" with a Traveller Fanzine (the name of which is escaping me right now) and I still only got like $5 total. :scratch:

I suspect this is just a really bad case of a newbie bidding war gone extremely bad which is seemingly happening all over the place recently it seems.

i've also seen them sell a few times for lowish amounts danny, so i wouldnt get overly excited about them chummer. if you want them, stick em on your list and have some patience and you will snap em up cheap in time.

course its your call....

Are we nearly there yet?

Once it passed $300 I glued my wallet shut, just in case. Strange thing was, I was following the bidding before it jumped to $200 and even though there were a few yellow stars involved some of the main bidders had 5 year track records with plenty of feedback. Head scratch.

The early ones are a bit hard to find, but not that hard.

I'd say that my guess is it had something to do with the fact that the seller listed all 24 issues at once, but no one bidder won more than two of the auctions. :scratch:

Or, people just wanted to give money since it was supposedly a "memorial auction." Sometimes, you can milk people.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Almost the whole set - Issue 7 was a photocopy. Think you might be right though. I fancied going after the whole lot figuring I'd pay over the odds at $6 per item just to be sure. That idea died pretty quickly.

I must have missed that when I was looking at the auctions. I think I'm the ~$25 bidder on that 1-4 auction. (Yeah, I'm cheap. So what? :lol:

Minimum bid + shipping to US is already $34, but nice. I wonder how a record store acquired a relic like this one? Stuffed in an old Jethro Tull album maybe?
