That one is nuts. Looks like his #9 could do that as well.

For #10; yeah, just a bit compared with $25 elsewhere recently.

Have seen several people offering $50-75 for #9 in the past without success, so wouldn't be quite so surprising: #7 is the only relatively "common" issue in the early numbers thanks to printing problems.

Queen of the Spiders Super Module:

2 days left at $51 and has two pages torn out (Present just ripped from the book)

Is this really really high: Or about right?

It's a bit higher than they normally run with all the pages intact (iirc). Sounds like the seller is getting lucky.

Deffinately about right, but for that price I'd be expacting it to be complete and intact in VG/EX condition.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Issues 3 & 4 are more common than the others, usually maybe $15-20.

I E-Mailed him and he changed it.
Though he did say to feel free to bid 500 bucks...

As one would think, it was simply a missplaced decimal...
Look at his other RPG type listing for Magazines at $4.99 starting price.

You're just too nice, John. I wanted to leave it up there, just to see if we could induce a coronary in someone. :twisted:
