Mars wrote:Equating tanks of gas or cost in burgers may make a higher price sound reasonable but really the list of people willing to pay $100+ for such an item is a very short list. I think I am generally one of the more top end buyers (or at least one of the more frequent buyers anyway) of small press RPGs and $100 is usually pretty close to my top end bids - maybe $112.27 if I want to outbid those people with the $100 max bids.TheShield has some more historically significant items priced at about $130 that I haven't bought because they are $30 more than I would pay for them - chances are it could be a decade before those items ever show up again.Your real competition though is if the author decides he has half a dozen copies he wants to sell. Then it becomes a sliding scale where the price would probably be down to about $50. A lot of the people who used to push prices way up (lofenloc, TFM, etc) are not bidding on these items anymore.

JasonZavoda wrote:I think that more than 15 RPG collectors would want a copy. How many tanks of gas they would be willing to pay for it I'm not sure. 6 tanks of gas is my guess for a starting figure, but some collectors and resellers could probably trade more gas for this set than just 6 tanks. I would love to see what a set goes for in an open auction with a few announcements posted around the collecting community.
