I've got a couple of these (243 & 196 from memory, I'll check if it makes much difference) and just wondered if its worth a sale or if anyone wants to give them a new home?

Cheers
Dave

I'll give them a new home. Don't think they sell for that much and I've never read any of the high numbers, so no idea what the quality is like.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . chicken and wild rice soup.

The earlier ones sell for a fortune. I don't know about ones past #100 or so.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

I was close, they are 225, 228 and 229. You're welcome to them Ian, maybe trade you a Pegasus or two for them :lol:

What are the earlier A&Es going for these days? I don't think I have seen many on ebay.

They don't turn up too often.

Hi,

someone gave me hundreds of these a coupla years back (I had to collect them mind).

They were very difficult to get a price for.

There were some issues below 100, but not many, from memory (all gone now).

They were never that popular or widespread in the UK.

Cheers,
Malc

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

Whenever I've looked, I can't say I've found any on ebay. Maybe that makes them super rare!! :lol:

Not really my cup of tea, I've struggled to read much of the three that I have, but they may well be some interesting musings for someone to enjoy, but I can't see them fetching more than a quid or two each...

In general most issues are worth about $2.50. Back issues are still available from Lee Gold for this price:

Noble Knight doesn't even inflate the prices very much - they are charging $5 each which may reflect the cost of magazine + shipping.

Yeah, not my cup of tea either

Most of mine went to Oz - the shipping cost more than I charged for them.

I have a bunch of these as well, just the low numbers

btw, Lee & Barry have all the A&E issues in pdf format now

http://www.conchord.org/xeno/aande.html

"BACK ISSUES AVAILABLE: All back issues of A&E are now available as PDFs. Issues 1 through 311 images, scanned from paper copies and converted to PDF format, mostly between 10 and 25 megabytes. Issues from 312 to the present are available as PDFs generated from the word processing files. These are somewhat smaller, mostly between 7 and 10 megabytes. Electronic editions are $2.00 (no postage charge), sent by email or by web download. Or you can receive one, several, or all on a DVD+R, $2.00 per issue, plus $0.50 for the DVD and case, plus postage."

I haven't seen the quality on the pdf's yet (the early issues I'm thinking of in particular).

If you are interested, her contact info is on that webpage.

EDIT: just realized this was in the Appraisals section, I'll repost in the other thread
