Hi folks,

any idea on the current price of this please? Purple cover, 1976.

Last mention I can find of it was 3 years ago, when it went for $99, which was generally regarded as being too much.

However, doesnt seem to be any mention of it since.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Malc

i missed out on buying one of these on ebay a few months back - for like £12....

Al

*edit* in fact, thinking about it, it was less than that. it really was cheap - i have seen US ones go for more though.

Are we nearly there yet?

Purple cover SELWGs usually go for $10 or thereabouts - the earlier edition (with the wizard/nazgul cover) go for more - the best (lowest) I've seen for that edition is $25, the highest is $100.

I owned a copy of this book when I was a teenager. I think I paid about £1.50 for it. I threw it away when I lost interest in wargaming.
