What your asking for is an appraisal and we don't allow that on SRP. One reason is that what you're asking is a matter of opinion so mine may be worthless ...... or the next guy's ..... As a moderator I should park this thread but I'm leaving it up so that any new people who don't know that we don't allow appraisals on SRP will find out.

Check the completed listings on ebay to find out what Swatys fetch at the moment.

Didn't you just buy an Aloxite? It's not even made it to your door yet I bet. haha. Crazy HADdicts!

Lol thats how i got my first 10 BH. All before the first one made it to the door.

There was a guy in the Reformation that had a good case of BAD. His name was Erasmus.

"When I have money, I buy books. If there's any left over, I buy food and clothes."

Here's the stock answer to all appraisal questions.

If I'm buying, then whatever the price, it's already too high.

If I'm selling, it never gets high enough!

Or as an uncle of mine says, when you're on ebay, and you win an auction, you're not above or below the market price at the instant your order goes through - you are at the market price for that instant.

If I am buying the answer is yes, if I am selling the answer is no
