I've never really paid much attention to fees, preferring to just list non-collectible stuff and not really care what it goes for as long as it sells. So no, to answer your question, I don't have a spreadsheet like that handy. > ObSWCollect: Since MAME gained popularity, ROM images for prototypes > and unreleased games have started to appear quite a bit.

The incomplete versions of Synapse's Ronin and House of Changes have recently been confirmed to exist, but the author has not yet released them to the public. Those are all I know of. Infocom had some projects aborted when Mediagenic relocated them but I don't believe they've been released either. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

[SWCollect] eBay fees
This is kind of off topic, but I have an eBay question someone here might be able to answer. Has anyone created an Excel (or MS Works) spreadsheet that you can enter amounts into and have it subtract eBay (and possibly even PayPal) fees so you can find a break even point on items? Obviously, you probably don't want to put stuff on eBay if you don't think you'll make a profit, but I have some items that I figure either will go for a good amount or next to nothing because they're not the standard stuff you find on eBay (like that RBBS book). I've got to get rid of stuff, but I can't afford to lose money right now, so I need to figure out the minimum bids. I'm sure I could make one myself, but if someone else has already done the work and is willing to share . . . . ObSWCollect: Since MAME gained popularity, ROM images for prototypes and unreleased games have started to appear quite a bit. Have many unreleased computer games made it to the public since the Internet became big? For example, I'm curious how far they ever got on the computer version of Awful Green Things from Outer Space that Steve Jackson announced some years ago and then I never heard any more about. -- Lee K.
