So, it's in good condition and worth 20 bucks to bid, for pages that are coloured in, pages that are cut out and generally a book that's been treated like crap. Lets see if someone bites.....

These look a little rough for the asking price.

No way anoyone here will convince me this listing does not belong in this thread.

OCE in torn SW for a BIN of $1,500

Same seller has about 6 other WAY over priced semi-rare and common items listed too.
A Squid DDG for $200
A AD&D Cyclopedia for $200

You can send an offer for the listings above.
I did send one for the OCE and it was automatically rejected..... immediately.

That price is obscene. I shelled out $250 for mine and have seem them bounce up to $375 or so, but no higher. Havn't seen one in a few months, so maybe it'd fetch a little more, but $1500 is LOL. That's woodgrain territory. The shrink looks legit though.

I offered $225... thinking it would be one of a couple of offers.
But since it was auto-rejected, It was not up to his read the offer amount.
Will not send another offer.
Decided to post the listing here at that point.

There have been three OCEs /without/ shrink sold to BINs at around $300 recently, some better than others (

). Still far short of the crazy prices a good number of years ago, of course.

There are far, far fewer SW'd OCEs (especially in good SW) around than SW'd Holmes Basics, even if not all of the latter go for $588.
