It was the last day, late on at the meet, I was 15 at the time, waiting for a lift home. I visited the TSR stand with the other items I had bought (LP for example!) and due to this had very little money left. I handed over only about a pound or so for my copy. The guy there had plenty left and didn't seem to think they had much chance of selling! I'll see what I can do about the pictures.

(forgive me, I'm new to all this!)Generally, if I put this up for auction, will these do?What else will be wanted?If this has worked, you should have scans of front and back (I can't get it to do all edges! but it does show the main crease and spine creases), and 3 photos of cover (in & out) and the module coverAny thoughts?If it helps, you can just visit the sitejonjhargreaves's Library | Photobucket?[/url]

It will shave a little bit off the listing cost, and whether you start it at 50 cents or $500 means nothing, since it will go way over that.Make sure you can accept Paypal. Most collectors use it exclusively for major purchases, since it supposedly covers the buyer from fraud.Charge actual shipping. Insist that it be insured, and do not ship to countries like Sri Lanka or somewhere that it cannot be insured and traced.And buy a towel. You will use it off and on for a few years to soak up the tears when you think of how you sold it.

The Royal Mail will give me insured Airsure for under 10 pounds, but only insuring upto 500 pounds (about $900). Others in the UK, where is the best place to go?Oh yeah, will it help any to list it in dollars (rather than pounds?)Oh and finally, does anybody have any issues with my newness to all this? Will my relatively low ebay rating affect the bidding?Oh and finally, finally, does anyone want to give me 1000+ GB pounds to stop me putting this on ebay? - Although I'm quite looking forward to selling and seeing what happens, but hey lets be practical here!?
