And why is shipping over $50? Is it for gas money so he can personally drive it to my house? At that price, they should cover the shipping insurance for me.

It's $90 to get it shipped to Canada.

Either they're armouring it like -- strike that with a tank, or I have no idea how they've hit that shipping cost.

They're T&T, Goat. No rhyme or reason to them at all.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Was this a box insert or a standalone item. It looks like the format of a conspectus.

It was a standalone item for a contest. Similar format but different quality of paper.

Shipping $49.95 (to Canada), Noble Knight likes to rip-off people on shipping. :evil:

Note to self: When you want something and don't know what it is worth, fish it up to find out instead of learning in the last ten seconds that half a dozen people will also pay a lot higher than the bid.

FYI, issue #2 has the first KODT strip and these were sold and will be signed by the artist!

Bleh, lol. I couldn't get higher bids typed in fast enough!

I'm tempted (but not 100% certain) to say that the copy down at my FLGS is cheaper than TnT's shipping. :roll:

I was watching and was going to put in a (losing) token bid but it was another auction that was US only.

Same with me. By the time I got my bid in, it had already gone higher than that and didn't even register. In any event, I was no where near the ending price.

I've got a feeling that no matter how long I play at this collecting thing, I will keep being surprised every once in a while by being outbid at auctions by large margins.

There's always a personal factor. If an item fills a long open hole in someone's collection, "value" may not matter much.
