    Hi everyone. I have a Harper Voyager UK set that I'm looking to sell, if anyone's interested. All are in like-new condition, never read, first editions. A Game of Thrones is signed too. I'm asking $1,250 + shipping on eBay but will entertain all offers. Love to see it go to someone on the forum. PM if interested.

    Thanks!

    If anyone's interested, please make me an offer!

  2. It's not economics nor cunning, it's plain asinine. You neglect the substantial risk of losing money big time on the lone books you are buying. But by all means, go ahead, there are two MM Clash of Kings up for grabs at abebooks. Have been for quite some time, so it appears - just waiting for you ;)

    Supply and demand isn't economics? The reason those ACoK's are still on Abe's is because there isn't a demand for them. Of all the editions they're the least popular. On the other side of the coin, the AsoS's are the most popular…maybe with the exception of a MM AGoT, if you can ever find one. Plus we're in the "off-season" right now, book sales seem to spike when the show's on. The ASoS on eBay might seem high, but as long as ASoIAF is part of pop culture they will continue to increase in value. Regarding substantial risk, any type of investment invokes risk. My entire 401k could be wiped out in three months if we fail to raise the debt ceiling. Does this mean I stop contributing to it? Or pull everything form it and cash out? No. It's a risk, but a calculated one.

  3. I think those of us with complete sets should make a pact to sabotage as many other sets as possible! This is a cunning plan which cannot fail.

    You're sarcasm aside, buying lone books that pop-up for sale decreases the number of full sets that can be built. A smaller number of competes sets, or potential complete sets, makes my complete set more valuable. It's not cunning, it's economics...

  4. Seems high to me too.



    A numbered MM AGoT has been selling for around $2000 - $2500 in the past couple months. A lettered edition went for $4600 this last summer.



    Trying to decode whether or not I want to pick this up, as it will reduce the number of potential complete sets, which in turn will make my set more valuable...






    Outside of the Meisha Merlin GoT, that one seems to have been the hardest to come by.



    As a stand-alone, though, that price feels high. MMGoT isn't going for too much more than that in the past couple of years. It feels like we're in a bit of a lull as far as the secondary market goes on these books as well. When the next season of the show or the next book comes around and the market heats up again, it will probably be closer to market value. But for right now, 1400 is high.



  5. So if we think $5100 is a decent price for a numbered "set' without the MM AGOT, what would be a decent price for one with it? I agree with Justinian; you can't just add the market value for numbered MM AGOT. A set is greater than the sum of it's parts. So if we assume a fair price for a stand-alone numbered MM AGOT is approximately $2200, we saying a numbered set is worth more than approximatley $7300...

    Thoughts?

  6. Episode gets a 6. Small Council scene was the best of the night. I really liked the Roose/Walder post mortum...pardon the pun.

    They rushed this entire season though. Dany gets her Unsullied in episode four? Really?

    The Red Wedding, with Cat's throat being slit, should have been the last scene of season. How could it not have been? I refuse to believe people in the writer's room weren't screaming for this, meaning someone had to override them. I'm looking at you David and Dan...
