The only place that has more ridiculous values for Dragon magazines is the Acaeum list:

I think so and personally I think the values on these should be removed because there are a number of people who look at it and price things based on it. Such as this:

viewtopic.php?t=8385

According to the list Dragon #50-#70 should be worth about $250 compared with the $15-$20 you could actually get for them. Most issues above 60 would be maybe $1 each. The early issues such as #1 should be more in the $300-$350 range? Strategic Preview $200-$250 but if anyone has them for $80 a pop I'll take them all!

I agree, the Acaeum page needs to be updated badly. I would gladly help if wanted.

I am pretty sure that these particular values haven't been updated in a lllloooonnnnggg time, maybe since Foul first built the site.

Most of the others have been though, several times including an update within the last 6 months or so.

Hilarious! Does someone want to ship me a box of these. There are at least 10 available on Amazon for less than 50 cents!

This guy should just play the lottery. He has a better chance of getting his $600 that way.

I love how this makes my 49.99 lots look really reasonable, lol.

I think this guy has what he once paid for these with what he wants to get back selling them. As it is this lot probably cost around $600 retail if he bought them brand spanking new at full price. (I love $900 buy it now).

Most of these books in this lot, if not all of them, look to be in the $5 and under category.

The Mastercraft Anthology hardcover still has the $4.95 sale price sticker on it from their big D20 blowout sale. Can't say its value has improved much.

Vol 1, #2 $87.75 :!:

Vol 1, #0 $40

Vol 1, #1 #30.05

Only $30 for a beat up B2 with name inside! I'm sure the guys over on Gleemax are all over that one. Unearthed Arcana for $40 and $45 and MM2 for $30.
