Re: [SWCollect] Mt. Drash cassette and market value

[Stephane Racle]

Interesting. Perhaps very few copies were published since it was the last of the four Infocomics and the other ones had relatively little success? Yes, I was referring to the $19.99 "Buy It Now". That Deadline grey is interesting.... I just saw a shrinkwrapped Deadline folio go for $29.99 (although that was a "Buy It Now" as well). Come to think of it though, Deadline folios seem to come up on eBay fairly regularly - and a good number of them are still in the shrink. In fact, I think I've seen more Deadline folios than Deadline greys over the last few years. I agree with you on actual vs perceived value. Actually, until last year, I didn't particularly care for Infocomics, which I perceived as relatively uninteresting computer comic book experiments. Only after finding a three-pack of them as part of a larger bundle of software did I decide I should try to get the last one. On the other hand, Suspended and Starcross were no brainers... and I suspect they are on many software collectors' lists.

Is it that uncommon? One would think they'd be plenty of copies lying around... It indeed is that uncommon. Much more so than a Starcross saucer, Suspended mask or sealed Fooblitzky. I have been on ebay now for five years and only saw it once and that one was even sealed. I managed to win that auction for a mere $50, as there was only one other serious bidder. And the current auction you probably talked about ended with $19.99 via "Buy it now." On the other hand I was outbid several times on a number of Fooblitzkys, which do turn up every other month. Maybe we have to differentiate between actual value, which considers factors such as rarity and item condition, and perceived value. Looking through ebay's completed auctions I just saw a Deadline grey go for $76...
