A printer wheel or something similar left a small line that mars the gloss shine on the front cover. You have to turn the book in the light to find it.I have purchased "new" copies of books...and I have seen dozens of books in stores...that were not nearly as nice as these supposed factory seconds.Now I'm sorry I only bought two.

About Pathfinder, I have found a limited edition of the Rulebook, it seems that it was given to the shop owners. There is a 'golden' mention -limited edition- above the title. Unfortunately, the seller didn't pack it well.Do you have some informations about that ?

MWP has slashed prices and is offering some amazing deals on these awesome sci-fi adventures, but you have to act fast, because once they are gone, they are gone[i/]Might be a future collectible since they are OOP and soon the downloads will be unavailable.Mike B.

Mars wrote:"Up in value" meaning more than cover price? No. They were mass produced enough and have been available for a long time so anyone wanting them for cover price will have bought them. I'm sure there will be a bit of a price jump right now but in a few months, they will be back down. I liked the show and wouldn't mind picking them up but it would only be at less than half of cover price (realistically I would want them for 25-30% of cover price). Amazon has a lot of copies for sale in the 30% off cover price as well so no shortage.
Mars wrote:Obtaining a status where books sell for more than cover price is very rare. Out of all the niche stuff, the only two examples I can think of are the Dune RPG book and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG The Magic Box - only the 1 Buffy book the rest are easy to find for less.The various Star Trek RPGs, Farscape, newer LotR, etc all sell for much less than cover. Even most D&D stuff sells for less than cover price. Its only a few rare items (probably less than 1% of all RPG stuff) that commands more than cover.
Badmike wrote:There are always exceptions though. All the MERP stuff by ICE goes for premium prices now. The Star Wars RPG, both d6 and d20, can go for cover or more (much more for some rarities). There are actually a few 1E Star Trek books that go for quite a bit.I think more telling than the genre, is was it a system that people enjoyed and played? Are they STILL playing it? In the case of MERP and WEG Star Wars, the answer is yes. The novelty items, however, as you mentioned are left to gather dust.Mike B.
