Although if you already had a box on its own, I'm sure you would be prepared to pay much more.I bought a 3rd print with no box and 5 supplements for $142.50 back in January which is way off the bottom of the scale. And the books look almost unused. I then sold 4 of the supplements for £215 (3 1st prints). So, I actually ended up getting them for free with money left over.

You and I appear to bid on many of the same items (of late at least) and you do seem to be my chief rival the past year.

darkseraphim wrote:On items that you both want, place an early bid to generate their interest. Place a snipe at the last minute. You can be more aggressive with these prices, since if you win the item, you're happy, and if you don't win and just pump them, you're happy too.
