That's a later edition.

You can pick the first edition up for cheaper than $300 anyway

Post by: bigwull on April 03, 2013, 04:00:12 AM: It does,nt always work that way...you are being speculative...in order to make money..you have to be sure that the subject matter...is of interest to others, and that you can sell them what you,ve got...its a buyers market...and you are at their mercy...if i was you, first i,d do a lot of research..to see if similar items are selling...and always look at the end price ..not the asking,
