It all depends on how mean the guy is. I recently sold my copy of UB,
Harlequin, Tir, NAGNA, and London (to diff folks) for an average of $18US
(plus shipping). I don't see the reason to ream people out and make them
call you daddy. So my only real point is that you can find them from guys
like me for reasonable prices. And when you sell yours, keep it in mind,
because what goes around comes around (or any other suitably corny cliche).
