I don't post often here, so please forgive my lack of decorum if this is intrusive.

Based on deals with CP FB group, I already have Stefan Grabinski and am in the middle of getting Lovecraft, Kuttner, and Long.

I'm now most Interested in the Fritz Leiber, Algernon Blackwood, Robert Aickman, Edgar Allan Poe, Hodgson, and/or Wagner volumes, though I am open to buying others.If interested, feel free to name a price and share some photos and we can negotiate.

I hope everyone has a nice day.

Good luck to you in your quest. I only have a few MotWT volumes and they are cherished pieces of my collection. I wish I had the funds to hunt down more of them but they seem to quickly reach prohibitive prices on the secondary market.

Deal for Lovecraft seems to have fallen through, so if anyone is willing to sell at a fair price, please let me know.

Sorry for taking up space here.

>3 BlackDeslagoon: What's a "fair price"? Many of these older editions now easily sell for *substantially* more than $1000. Heck, the William Nolan collection recently sold on ebay for $900 and that came out in 2019!
If you can't afford them that's one thing, but that doesn't mean prices are unfair.

>4 astropi: astropi: People willing to sell can suggest a price then. I agree that market prices are several times higher than initially, so they can put whatever price they wish if they want to sell.

>5 BlackDeslagoon: Of course! Both buyers and sellers are always welcome to suggest a price. That said, I've noticed that sometimes people, especially those starting their collection, seem to think that prices are "unfair" when they can't afford the book. There are so many books I wish I could afford but I simply can not. Still, that does not make the prices unfair!
