I've seen them. But I don't think I'm willing to pay $40 bucks for a copy; not unless I'm REALLY desperate.

and there is currently one on e-bay:

Oh no... NEVER AGAIN! I just tried a few hours ago to obtain a copy from E-Bay for a very reasonable price only to be picked off at the very last nanosecond by some vulture who will most likely put in some moldy collection, and never play with it until he needs some quick cash and sell it on E-Bay.

In real life, auctions you actually get to get to decide for yourself when the price is to high and concede to the other fellow rather than getting hit by an arbitrary time limit where you can lose your bid to the guy with the faster mouse button than you.

Sorry, but from now on I'm going to deal with someone who is willing to offer it to me and just me at a price we can both agree on.

However, since no one is knocking over my e-mail box with responses to my request, I fear it's going to be a looooong while.

heh... yea I'm learning that e-bay can be **ugly** - law of the jungle applies. I've managed to bottom feed a few goodies and I've had some really nice items go through the roof at the last second.

I've decided the real secret is to decide exactly how much you're willing to pay, bid that and not worry about it from there. Sometimes you get the vulture - sometimes not. Granted, that level of serenity is difficult to maintain but it's good practice and we're not bidding on lifesaving drugs or anything

In the meantime keep an eye out for a "buy it now" button and punch that if you see one.

Good luck,

No need for such venom. It is what it is. Sniping is actually a good way to keep the prices down. It is also a way for well-known buyers to hide their involvement in an auction. I know from experience that some "buyers" are just out to thwart collectors

Live auctions are not really an option for most people and are not good for sellers, either, since they limit participation.

Huh?! That is well beyond my comprehension. Kindly elaborate please - no need to name names and small words so my musty brain can keep up.

thx
