Sale of local history items

[ede61]

The items concerned have been going for quite high prices and all the bidders are private listings. It's impossible to tell how many buyers are involved but it looks that a bidding war is going on.

If any one wants to keep an eye out for items like this, they are listed under

Collectables > Paper & Ephemera > Local Interest/ Topographical

I only receive emails about towns I'm interested in but I usually place messages about them on the relevant rootsweb mailing list.

Be wary about bidding on ebay if you cannot see who you are bidding against. I personally would never do this.

Ever since I discovered some folks sell LDS disks for 5 times what you pay direct to  the LDS, I am most wary.

You and me both Trish, my sentiments exactly.

I often buy items on ebay - and have yet to have a bad experience.

If someone buys something for more than they can buy it new then that is their stupidity - I would always check for current prices before bidding.

I also limit my bids and avoid getting caught in a bidding war - its bargains I am after and often get.
