NEVER MIND THE CENTURY - JUST WHAT WORLD IS THIS EBAY SELLER LIVING IN? (Updated)



Look at the state of this issue of TV CENTURY 21 #2 for which some seller is asking £75 on eBay.  The same seller was asking £229 for an even poorer condition (by far) copy of #1, which he eventually sold (he says) for £59.  His ads say that he's unsure of their true worth so is open to reasonable offers, but he must surely have seen what other sellers ask for issues of this particular title.  In my opinion, whether he has or not, he's simply chancing his arm to see what he can get away with.  What price would you be prepared to pay for a comic in this tattered, ragged condition, readers?  I'd rather do without the comic (though I don't have to, 'cos I've got a great condition copy) than have this abomination.  What about the rest of you?

Update:  The seller has now increased the asking price to £195.  Can you believe it?



A NEW CHRISTMAS CARD...



Meant to post this a couple of hours or so back, but fell asleep.  It's a Christmas card I made at the suggestion of regular reader CJ, after I showed a photo of my dog Zara in the previous post, taken around 1987 or '88.  Thanks to the wonders of modern technology (namely an Epson printer and Wordpad), I 'created' this in about 10 or 15 minutes - and that includes the printing, cutting, folding, and placing the message inside.  I think it looks great and will be making some more to send out this Christmas.  What do you think, readers?


Update:  I've changed the layout of the greeting, which you can see below.
