I don't believe so, not for an Ultima-related title. I vaguely remember someone complaining about snipers on Usenet after they lost an Ultima around $1,500. I could be wrong on that one, though. I do know that a shrinkwrapped Starcross saucer went for $2,000 on eBay. Oh, by the way, I got the $250 figure from a gentlemen who was at the UO Faire where that Akalabeth was auctioned. Normally he is reliable about such things. -- Edward Franks [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Welcome aboard, Joe! Haven't heard from you in a while. By the way, I couldn't link to your story below.

Sorry to start a new thread here, but I've got some catching up to do! :) Here are some of my favorite finds: 1. Lord British Starter Kit--Akalabeth and Ultima 1 sold together by California Pacific--still in the original baggie (also the most I ever paid for a title--$1,200.00 in a bundle w/about 20 other worthless titles--does this price set some kind of record?) 2. 2 original release Akalabeths--please see my article for detailed information. http://originmuseum.solsector.net/stories/story1.htm 3. Caverns of Callisto--Just because it's caused more buzzing from collectors recently--it wasn't that hard for me to find! :) 4. Savage Empire Special Edition-autographed (WITH the T-Shirt) 5. Ultima 1 for Atari 400/800-(breathes a sigh of relief after checking for counterfieiting!--Thanks for your diligence, guys!) 6. The Origin Audio CD-Volume 1--Not really a software title, but very hard to find. I found this in a used software store, and bought it for 5 BUCKS! LOADS of other stuff!--after re-reading this, I can't seem to decide on any 1 find... - Express yourself with a super cool email address from BigMailBox.com. Hundreds of choices.

Re: [SWCollect] What's your favorite find?
One of these is a copy of Star Saga: One for the Apple II. All the materials inside are unused and the manuals are shrinkwrapped. I don't recall hearing about it until I found it, but I thought it was cool finding it in that condition. I have no sentimental attachment to it, however, and have decided to see what it will fetch on eBay. They generally seem to snag about $50 - $60, from what I've seen. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] What's your favorite find?
John Romero stated: What's your favorite old software find that you have? Just to introduce myself to Mr. Romero and whoever else might be new, I'm not really much of a software collector. I find the topic quite interesting, but my personal passion is old video games (e.g. Atari 2600). Once MobyGames started up, though, I couldn't seem to help but wanting to buy old computer software when I found it. Before that, I might pick up an Infocom game if I saw one, but that was about it. At the moment, being unemployed and in need of money, I'm finally getting ready to sell many items. Some I'd never intended to keep and just hadn't gotten around to selling. Others I thought I might keep but current circumstances dictate they must go. One of these is a copy of Star Saga: One for the Apple II. All the materials inside are unused and the manuals are shrinkwrapped. I don't recall hearing about it until I found it, but I thought it was cool finding it in that condition.
