Hey Ex

[Mahdi]

Thought you'd like to know, someone recently spent $2 on a first edition copy of Dune on ebay the other day.

[exatreide]

yea well it was 4.99 shiping. so they spent $7. which is still less then me.  :'( :'( :'( :'(

[Mahdi]

oops, that was supposed to be $2 MILLION.

A minor mistake.

[gryphon]

The first edition copy ? Dune I I presume ?

I hope not, I've got a first edition of Messiah, God Emperor and Chapterhouse.

[Digital Guerrilla]

Why not because you could have a hefty investment at 2 million a book gryphon.

[gryphon]

It would be nice   ;D

[exatreide]

I think i speak for my self when i say. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. um sorry.

[Mahdi]

I'm sure you could spare $40 grand to put me through uni and get a new comp, right?

[gryphon]

You'r kidding me right ?

I bought two Dune books in a dustie and old second hand bookstore. The other was a gift ( from another Dune fan who now is quite an old man ) to me when I first got interested in Dune

2$ Million!!!  I'm sitting on a goldmine then because my dad has every dune book in its original copy.  He bought them as they came out over the years.

[Mahdi]

Thats what the site said, and they also mentioned that The Prphet of Dune in analog magazine got sold for the same price, however the guy who bought it got ripped off.

It's possible that they put the decimal in the wrong place I guess.  But it is also possible that its true, and they happened to ahve two rich Dune fanatics bidding agaisnt each other, in which case it got an inflated value, like the analog magazine.

Why don't you simply go

[exatreide]

haha nema, wait thats not funny.

[thomas]

hey the 1965 version w/cover of dune is  being sold for $20.00(dollars) at e-bay.

[nemafakei]

It wasn't a joke, but a serious consideration.
