Since when do you get to the sole determiner of market value is and who put you to be the one in charge of making sure it stays that way???? You just proved my point from above about "protecting your investment". Aside from that, until you adopted the "beat me or buy it" from hostile market attack in the last 6 months, Dungeon Magazine #1's were were regularly going for $30 to $35. Only in the last 6 months have they been going for more than that. Must be purely coincidental....

I do remember #1's were fairly easy to get compared to even #2. I wonder if they ran off a huge amount of #1's and then tailored the runs to the amount purchased.
JohnGaunt wrote:No on-topic posts here! Shoo! From a DM/player's perspective, does #6 have any worthwhile content for pre-2e (or pre-1e) D&D games? How does it stack up against the other early issues?From a collector's perspective, did any of the early issues have that print-run stat-block of so many copies printed, so many returned, etc.? That would give a rough estimate of other early print runs.

Acaeum pricing shows a VG to be $180 (7 years ago !) ... with today's increases I'd say around $235-239 so you were bit low...I was selling NM for $389.00 which is right on mark for a NM in todays pricesNot sure of your point

ScketreWhisp wrote:Ok, if those prices are updated prices... then a NM runs about $300.00 according to that price... and that price was posted BEFORE the Dragon Magazine line was discontinued...

bclarkie wrote:Umm, just a quick FYI, maybe you didn't get this note yet, but Dragon Magazine #1 has been OOP print for well over 30 years now. I am not really sure how the line being discontinued in print has even one iota to do with the rarity or percieved value of #1. Please teach me, oh wise one.
