RE: [SWCollect] THE Auction!
Yeah, I don't get it...is it new or a old? It sounds like it is newly produced with original (leftover?) parts. What's most important to you about owning an Akalabeth? Is it the original parts or that it was one of the original ones sold? If it is just the parts...Garriott could go into business selling hundreds of these at $1000+ a pop. Let's not even get into the counterfeiting possibilities here. Hugh -Original Message- From: C.E.

RE: [SWCollect] THE Auction!
I wonder how long he has been doing this? Joe Garrity, who runs the Origin museum, was under the impression that he was getting an original from Richard Garriot...but maybe it was just one like this? He won it at the Ultima Online convention about a year ago. It was auction off by Origin/Richard Garriott. Hugh -Original Message- From: C.E.

Old meaning the parts were pulled from Garriott's unsold stock, but were never sold back in 1980.

All the materials date back to 1980 with the exception of the diskette itself. Even the label is original. Are re-assembled versions of games worth as much as the original package from 20+ years ago? My argument is no.

As long as they know what is involved (and Quick Cash is only 1% fee compared to 3% paypal) I think this is the way to go. Heck collect with quick cash and pay with paypal, that way you NEVER pay a fee :) My thoughts are like this: If I'm paying *you* for an item, at *your* price, then *you* should be the one paying the fees.

Then just don't offer it as an option to the buyer. Of course, that may limit your potential audience; I personally only bid on auctions where there's some form of online payment like billpoint or paypal where I don't have to pay fees. I only make exceptions for exceptional items. Again, just my opinion. Speaking of ebay, are you selling?

Regardless why not sign up and get the free $10 if even you don't use the acct. Plus it would help me test the referal link to make sure you get the $5 bonus. I know the $10 works, already got it for two accts. Since this is fairly new the market is wide open, could make a mint off referals yourself after you sign up :) http://qksrv.net/click-891425-3370184?SID=tommage Tom

[SWCollect] Every collector's nightmare
Well, actually I can think of some nightmares that come before this one, in order: 1. Fire 2. Flooding 3. Theft or accidental loss 4. Discovering your originals are fakes or counterfeit 5. Auction/trade gone horribly, horribly wrong ..but I experienced #6 this weekend, and I thought I'd share it with you. I've been married for 7 years (I'm 30), but dated my wife for 4 years before that, so I'd like to think that I know her really well. I do, actually, which is why I could tell something was wrong this weekend. It turns out that she was feeling neglected, and we started fighting. The fight lasted, on and off, for about 3 hours, with me in the basement with all my computers and stuff on the couch and her in the bedroom. Now before I continue, I'd like to iterate that the fight was pretty much *my fault* and *I was indeed a massive jerk* and *fully deserved what I am about to describe to you*. My wife did NOT put me up to writing that; rather, I wanted to state it because I don't want any of you to feel differently about my wife: She is a very kind and loving wife and mother, and I owe much of my success in life and our wonderful children to her. I was solely responsible for the fight; I badgered her, I was a jerk, and I deserved the consequences. Now, with that out of the way, here's what happened: She didn't want the fight to end with us hating each other seperated by 2 floors, so she came down and tried to work things out. I had been stoked to a boil by that point and had no intention of working things out, at least at that time of the night. She tried to get me to listen, to work things out, to compromise -- but I didn't want anything to do with it. So to get me to react, to do *anything*, she walked over to one of my shelves, grabbed a box, and ripped it completely asunder. So what did she grab? Not one of the 95%-of-my-collection near-meaningless titles, but instead she had the incredible luck of grabbing Countdown (Access, 1990), NOT the Slash release. It's no Suspended mask or Starcross saucer, but I spent 6 months checking ebay listings to find a non-Slash original of this, and paid a little bit more what I thought it was worth because I wanted to a complete Access adventure series (Martian Memorandum, Mean Streets, Countdown, and Amazon). It had nostalgic worth, time-investment worth, and financial worth to me. Well, that pretty much ended the fight. I stopped being a complete jerk and we made up. The moral of the story is: Your family is always more important than your collection -- which should be common sense anyway :-) Anyone got a Countdown they'd be willing to sell or trade? ;-) -- http://www.MobyGames.com/ The world's most comprehensive gaming database project. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] THE Auction!
I'd say half and half. For the disk, I would agree it's worth far less, as it's this hobby's equivalent of a replica. For the other materials, though, I would say they are worth a comparable amount, since they are originals. True, they may have been held onto by Garriott all this time, rather than in the wild, making them less desirable -- though, ironically, in better condition -- than the 12 sold copies... but is this so different from new old stock that's lain, unsold, in a basement or warehouse? - Original Message - From: Jim Leonard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 1:38 PM Subject: Re: [SWCollect] THE Auction!
