Yes these items are rare and you could probably get $50 each from the right buyer on the right day but I would like to see them actually obtain this value more than once before declaring their "worth". In the past they have never hit this price. The last two copies of Medium and Heavy Merchantship sold for $20 for the two and before that Medium Warship sold for $3.99.

Avalon Hill's Advanced Civilisation fetches such monster prices. I'd love to get a set but each time it comes up in Australia, the prices go through the roof:

It's priced a little high, particularly with the shipping from Canada (unless you are from Canada). This guy had this listed last week or earlier this month at this price and got no bids.

I hadn't seen it last week. The price is a bit high, but I haven't seen R3 up all that often. And someone in the states could justify the shipping, since you're getting all three at once. At least, I've used that argument myself a time or two before. :lol:

It may not have been last week, but recently. Right now on E-Bay there is another trilogy up for $60, and a solo R3 for $45 from Powell's Books.

Amazon has a number of R3s in various condition for under $30:

That's mine - I had it listed as a BIN at this price with no takers, so thought I'd try an auction

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Traveller Books from 0-6.

Supplements 7, 8, 11, and Adventure #1.

$15 starting bid. Which I think is a good price for that lot.

(Not a Fan, or player, but seems cheap to me)

BUT wants $16.80 shipping.... YIKES!

Also listing 4 early Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society Issues.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Starting price of just $1...

But once again the seller wants a fortune to ship inside the USA (From Denver).

$15.29

Shipping costs for FOUR thin magazines!

Looks like Hamilcar is digging into his box of these again - he has the usual 3 Dragon Tree Press items up. This is a 2nd print/edition of Stones of Selt.

Wouldn't be surprised is a Seren Ironhand showed up in the next couple weeks - they were often sold with this lot of stuff - unless he is out

That'd be good. It's been a while since we had Seren Ironhand on eBay.

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

There was one up not too long ago, but it had a very low BIN and was gone in less than half an hour:

A Calthonwey and Tradervale from the same seller had the same result:

I guess if you consider this bragging:

Heck I wasnt planning on even mentioning them until bclarkie sniffed them out. The only thing I ever brag about is my sexual prowess....and then only to my wife. :roll:
