Owen,

I picked up a number (about 15) of the early FWW issues at a local
used book store (I have a standing note with them to call me if they
get any WW mags in) about 2 years back.

I paid about $4 - $5 Canadian each at the time.

Not criticizing the OP for his asking price in any way. Whatever the
market will bear...

For twice that price, you get all their issues on CD.

Wow! That's expensive! $30-40 is about right.

Not in my book. As far as I'm concerned eBay _is_ the fair market
value. Just because _you_ wouldn't pay the same price has no
bearing on what an item is worth.

I learned that fair market value is what an arm's length able buyer
will pay a willing seller for a given item.

What would be your definition of fair market value?

That's too much for 8 magazines. Especially since the information
contained in them has very possibly been repackaged in one of their
books.

Do you know for a fact that Rudy sells the early issues (1970's) in that
range?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the CD is
"select" articles, not the entire collection.

Actually, I don't think the price is out of line... $70 (subtract maybe
$5 for shipping since it's included) breaks down to $8.75 ea. The mags
listed are some of the earliest and fairly scarce. If anything, I think
Rick may be able to get more on eBay.

Greetings,

The next person to complain about the price should
have quotes and dates from ebay to back up their
complaints.

Sincerely,
Bill Thomas

Just because its on ebay doesnt make the price reasonable. There are alot of
gullible suckers on ebay too.
