As part of a recent reacquantance with my collection, I found out that at some point I purchased two old Chaosium games: Elric and King Arthur's Knights.  Both are from the late 70s.

I am planning on putting them up for sale but was wondering what a reasonable price for each was?

Here are some pictures (I left them large so you'll have to click on the link):

Elric:

King Arthur's Knights:

It even has the old old Chaosium logo.  Is this the first King Arthur type item that Greg Stafford did?

Hi Mark...

I have both those games, and from memory paid somewhere between $20-40 for each. This was a few years ago though, so I don't know how the market has moved since then.

I think if you snag $40 or so for each you've done well.

Regards

Mike

I guess that Elric will go for around 30-35$ but no more. King Arthur's Knights could go for more. Perhaps arount $50. But market prices seem to be lower actually.
