About the PotVQ reprint done for the North Texas Con, what would be a good price for that, more or less?

Hector.

Or more ($125)




** expired/removed eBay auction **




and more ($157)




** expired/removed eBay auction **




But I am not sure it is a real market price... 4-5 guys would pay this for a copy. And I guess that almost all others would not pay more than $20-30.

Perhaps in 10 years it would be different...

I don't know, looks like a pretty cool product and it's got a "con" association.  I don't anticipate it going for less than what we've already seen.

Along those lines, has anyone seen the Castle Zagyg box set sell recently?  I wonder how prices on that one are faring as of late.


Let mirth prevail!

I agree, it was also a very small print run (100 or so copies) making it rare the day it was printed.

A lot of publication have small print runs. For example, the RJK modules. Their values increased when they started to pop up on ebay. Then they decreased. The last ones sold for only cover price IIRC, or around that.

Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps you are right. PotVQ reprints were all sold, so now HTF. We will see. I do hope that price will stay high :D

BadMike sold one recently through a BIN for $305 but you'd have to ask how long it was listed before someone bought it.  Haven't noticed any open auctions lately.

NICE PRICE!
Glad to see that too.

Makes me even more happy that I spent the money to get my copies of the Castle Zagyg box set when I did.

As for the PotVQ reprint, I think the price will level out somewhere between the margins of where it has been selling for recently ($100-157).
I do not think it will ever get back down to cover price again.

Anyone has another copy to see? :)

If the price stay so high, it would be an excellent news for the upcoming reprints. This will show that there is an actual expectation/interest about these modules. Especially for collectors.

If somebody wants my copy for $125.00, I'll sell it. I looked at it once, put it back in the shrink...uh...plastic bag, and it's been in my archived collection ever since.  I'll even do free postage in the US!   8O

Come on guys - you can't see what's happening here.  Doug is secretly buying them back.  Makes his horde of 10-20 leftovers all the more valuable.  Oldest trick in the book.  :lol:

I have my copy, one copy for the raffle this year, and one copy (along with one each of all digest printed copies) for historical Con purposes.

Otherwise, the other 97 copies are out there somewhere and soon 98 after the raffle at the Con.

I am glad to see there is an interest in these, hopefully we can find enough things to reprint over the years to help fund the Con

Doesn't surprise me at all that you sold out.  It's a great idea that looks like it might pay off well for the con.

Suggestion:  a reprint of Tegel Manor.

Much harder to get the rights to, I suspect.  Wee Warriors items are much more available for us, and much more in demand I would suspect.

It was up there only a day IIRC, they are still a strong seller, I wish I had as many as some here have stashed away....!
