Advertise your wanting one at the classified ad section.
You should have one by next week, if offering anywhere near that price.

If I had one, you would not have to post the advert.

Crusader Magazines,


This does not belong in the silliest price thread as the asking price is not far from list price.


But the BIN seems high to me for used magazines that are still available directly from the publishers.


Unless it was issue one of course.




But perhaps this is due to the higher cost for them shipped from US to UK?


And the seller is only listing for UK Buyers.

Interesting auction...

IIRC the last one (way back in Feb 2007) went for $1,035 - sweet condition but not shrinkwrapped. Not something I've gone out of my way to keep records on, so apologies if I've missed one!

I'm not quite sure how complete SW needs to be to counted, mind you, and IMHO incomplete, "shredded" but encompassing shrink on a warped module is less good looking than SW with a single neat cut across the top allowing the module to be taken out. That doesn't translate into auction realisations, however, as for some reason, some people seem to pay extra not only for the plastic, but whether the plastic encompasses the item, however tentatively. Boxes are slightly different, perhaps.

The set before that, I think, (March 2006) was $343; fine box but a few of the contents lightly used. I can live with the $700 difference as that's probably still (a lot) more than an unexciting brown box is worth.


Brian had a roughish box up for sale here (Jun 21, 2007) but not sure whether that was sold "locally" or went to eBay. Yeah, the last "fully" SW'd one was around $1k, too, but the record for that sale would be on my other PC, I think. I get the feeling that most of those brown boxes have been pulped for one reason or another in the past 25 years; deservedly so?

Looks like a 5th print to me.

No starburst and no prices on the books.
