Woodgrain for sale.


** expired/removed eBay auction **

I don't know much about woodgrains, but I'm thinking of bidding on this. Can anyone determine what printing this is?  Any guestimates about a 'fair market value'?

A third print sold back in August for $1856.  It looked like the books in that one were in similar condition (though no writing was referenced), the box much worse than this one.  I don't have a link saved, but you can find it in the Classifieds -- Rares Formerly on eBay subforum.

Just struck me as odd to do that when asking far above market value (for condition IMHO).

I sold a 3rd print earlier this year for GBP 1346 on auction. The books were NM (really!), the box was VG. A member here kindly pointed out to me that the same account ( ruckman3 ) then sold a 3rd print (possibly the one bought from me) a short while later for USD 4,800 (!) on a BIN. So, as they say, your mileage may vary

I thought this looked quite nice. Some plus points: the price discount writing on the box lid is super-cute, the box looks sturdy, the corners look quite good even with the close-up. I am less worried about a few stray pen marks on an old game booklet. The buyer sounded agreable in his description; I would have wanted to check for staple rust on the booklets and I would have sent him a message asking about old smells (tobacco, damp, mould etc..). But otherwise a nice buy!  

It looks like they have incorrectly identified it, as it states "2nd Edition, May 1978" on the copyright page, and matches the description on The Acaeum for that printing.
