*Headdesk*

It's moral quandary time!

Some of these B7 fanzines I've cheerfully taken off my friend's hands are, it seems, worth a few bucks to certain folks. Not gobs and gobs, mind you, but $10 - $30 each, depending on the title.

If money wasn't tight at Casa Cthulhu, I wouldn't give a damn. I'd gladly give them away for the cost of postage.

But money is tight. And, by my reckoning, I'm sitting on about $300 worth of 'zines - possibly more - if I can find a buyer.

That's the kicker. Finding a buyer. Well, that and wrestling my conscience to the ground that's saying I should give the things away, as initially planned, because that's the kind-and-nice thing to do - even if I suspect that some recipients would immediately turn around and sell the items on ebay, once read. After all, we might be fans, but we're also only human, right? Right. This moral quandary being a case in point, for instance.

Would it be horrible of me if I sold these 'zines, rather than giving them away?

*fretfretfret*

Maybe if I offered them up at a bargain price - less than I'm seeing online? Maybe that would quiet my conscience but still satisfy the little black duck that sees small-but-significant piles of cash in fanzine form on the coffee table...

Blech. I wish I wasn't broke. The matter would be much easier to resolve, then...

Blakes 7 Fanzine Mania!

Okay, the need for dosh has won out over altruism. Especially with a convention coming up.

I've researched what's generally wanted for these zines on ebay and on fansites, and everything on this list is offered for 20% - 30% less than what the 'zine dealers seem to be asking.

I'm willing to haggle if you want the entire run of a certain 'zine (such as all the issues of Gambit, Magnificent 7, etc) as you'll be saving me multiple trips to the post office. Try me. :)

If you have any questions about contents or conditions, just ask. The entire pile is sitting on my dining table right now, so it's no trouble at all for me to open 'em up and take a look.

I'll admit that I'm going to read the madly slashy ones before putting 'em in the mail. Fortunately, I'm a fast reader. ;)
