New to the Yahoo group but have been a series book fan since I was a boy growing up in the 50's - 60's. A new record for Magic Talisman has been set on Ebay...
$10,000?!? There's a 1st edition, 1st printing (near fine in vg+ dj) of Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea signed by Hemingway listed in AbeBooks for $8,503, and...

Actually sold for $10,000.01. Pretty exciting auction. Eventual winner started with flat $2,000. Then someone with $10,000 (wow) stepped in, leaving the...
I was kind of surprised there's been no buzz about these "MT" auctions earlier on this group. An announcement that the original cover art and some other...
I called Applewood Books today. As many of you know, they are the publishers of high quality, original text reprints for Hardy Boys, Nancey Drew, Tom Swift...
I can only think of the old saw about a fool and his money. If anyone out there wants my copy for half that, they’d have it. Best, Paul From:...

The reprinting of Magic Talisman is up to the Goodwin family. There have been some complications in the past year or so that have prevented the reprinting. I...
I'm dumbfounded by this. The previous high that I'm aware of was $1500 and that was several years ago. Don't know if anyone noticed, but the artwork for Magic...
The $3,000 purchase was from the same seller as the $10,000 auction. I can’t figure it out. We know of a 2nd potential buyer, willing to pay $10,000. So...
Hmm, I thought something was fishy about that first auction that ended at $10,000.01. Now the guy buys another copy of the same book from the same seller for...
Ah, as far as I know Applewood always owned American Web Books. That was their on-line, single small print run, book demand service - non retail, on-line only...
Hi, all. I just received this reply from Applewood Books and thought I'd share it with the group. 73 Bob WA2UEH ... Subject: Re: Rick Brant - The Magic...

... 5-6 years ago I sold my copy of Talisman for $1200. I had paid $50. I thought I'd done OK, especially given that there was already talk of a reprint. Oh...
Sold mine for $600 and I had bought it new. I really don't believe that this book is actually selling at this price. Seems like a scam. Trying to artificially...
I tend to agree - it's probably a scam, but I may put my copy up with a safe reserve price and see what happens. Chuck Peacock From: Rick_Brant@yahoogroups.com...
I think it's time to see if the EBay action on The Magic Talisman is real or not. I understand that there have recently been three bids of $10,000; supposedly...
Good luck, MK! My guess is that h***h won't be placing a bid. It's most likely he was a shill bidder who successfully helped the last seller extract...
Very interesting. We'll see if your price spurs any more interest in mine. Currently after not quite two days it's up to $649, which is still a good return on...

Welcome to the group. I think I have an extra "reading quality" copy of The Rocket's Shadow which I'd be happy to send to you if you like. Just e-mail me (off...
received this post and called, they said they are waiting for enough orders before they print, price is $24.95. i asked what quantity of orders is enough to go...
Slight math check here. Where do you get 8000%? Strictly speaking, you can't do more than 100%. That's a limit, just like probability goes from 0 to 1 ..., but...
I always regret joining math disagreements, but I think, actually, if Charles got $25 for the book that would be 100%. If he got $100, that would be 400%. More...
If he gets $649 dollars for the book - his profit is $649 - $25=$624. His percent profit is 624/25 * 100 = 2496% In terms of what he invests ($25) his $649...
