Blimey. If I had 75 quid...

Are there any scans of this knocking around? It'd be interesting to at least see what was inside.

Eep – so you did. For some reason, I earlier only found the thread where you got the thing in the first place.

Nobody's going to pay £75 for that.

... And if you're gonna put it in the bulb anyway, if it doesn't sell, you might as well lower the price.

You'd hope that was a joke. I can't imagine strontium71 is really going to chuck a piece of comics history in the trash.

I'd have thought the little laughing face at the end would have given it away that , of course I was joking  ;) But yeah I'll just relist it if it doesn't sell.

And one for the 'over my head' thread, on my part.

I swear, sometimes when I shake my head, I hear a rattling sound...

You're right. I'll have to console myself with the money it just sold for...

Well to be fair he was right. No one is paying £75 for it.

Well done on getting £88.

Well, fuck me!

The irony here is that anyone that daft probably hasn't learned to read yet.

Seems like a pretty fair price for an unreleased comic. And a small piece of IPC history.

Totally unfair. Whatever anyone wants to spend their hard earned money on is their business , not yours .
To label them as illiterate smacks of plain bullshit. Keep your opinions to yourself , and if it bothers you that much what people are willing to spend on my listings , or anyone else's for that matter , don't taint my thread with them please.

If I'd seen this earlier I would have paid over £88...And I can read. Have been able now for about 45 years or so...

Wish I'd seen it earlier as well....

Been looking for one of these for a long time!  :(

Is Canned Heat really in there?

Maybe I should check the scans out? ;-)

I'll give you 28 quid (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=29742.msg542993#msg542993) for it.  Cheers for the scans (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=35276.msg649737#msg649737), bud.

This leaves only two possibilities:

1. They bought it coincidentally just by randomly pressing buttons on the Internet.
2. Whilst they themselves cannot read, they have a compatriot who can, who they instructed to purchase said item on their behalf.  Probably in this case they will have them read it to them when it arrives.
