Is There Anyone Insane With A Lot Of Money To Waste?


Barry on the Alan Class yahoo group posted this:

"Hi,

Having read about the high prices that dealers are trying to sell the Alan Class books for, this has got to be the ultimate in rip-off price for an Alan Class B/W comic at nearly £32,000 !!!!"

I asked the fellow who introduced me to that dealer I mentioned if he could ask him the value.  Reply within 40 minutes "£2 to £3 at the very most if you are desperate."  I will not print his response to the price being asked though he had, it seems, checked it: "Tell him (me) to note what the seller has written:'No returns accepted'!"

 Look at the image posted there -tatty edges to cover, browning pages and looks like the spine of the book is going. My top spend for it? £1.50

  1. The guy even has the cheek to describe it as a 'Marvel UK' title. Not even the far superior Golden Book and Record Set comics fetch anywhere near what he's asking. A total chancer.
