Unity Red, Gold, Platinum...yum,yum, yum...lol

Hey all,

I must admit...the premium bug has bit me (not V.V.S.S. yet though...whew!)

Curious what you guys think an honest current rate for the following books would be if I go the eBay route to buy?

Unity 0 Red
Unity 1 Gold
Unity 1 Platinum

Also, since cash is a bit tight right now (lord is it ever NOT? Lol), would any copy owners on this site be interested in a trade for any of the books in my current "Buy/Sell/Trade - Non Valiant" thread?

http://valiantfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30709

Respond away, my V. Friends

BTW, I am thinking about doing a video soon of my small but very much enjoyed Valiant collection

I'll post somewhere on the site.

Word.

$40, $8, & 10, respectively.

Awesome! I'm glad I asked; I probably would have been okay paying the guide prices...however, I am aware that Greg was going to be updating the ValiantFans guide relatively soon.

Thanks, Slym

Agree with Slym here foir the most past. Current ebay BIN's for the gold and platinum are $7 and $8 respectively.

Didn't see any raw Red for sale, again only looked for a min or two.

I'm pretty sure tbrezz has some cheap gold/plat sets in his thread.

A lot of unity golds and plats show on eBay. Sometimes in sets.

The unity red is a different story. $40 sounds about right. But just not as many of them for sale.

I have been following the Reds because I want to pick one up myself, but I have seen them in the $50-$60 range

God, that would be AWESOME to find a book like that for such a cheap price

Do you think there is any hope for me for a good deal like that at this point, Chiclo?

There's always hope, combine it with a bit of luck and good-timing, and who knows???

Just don't expect it.

In 1992 they were even harder to come by as they were a dealer incentive and most dealers were lucky to get 1. VALIANT was so hot then it was extremely hard to get a dealer to part with his, especially when Harby 4's were going for $150 as collectors were trying to get their coupon sets for the Pink book.

This info is what really makes me appreciate what I have been able to get so far. I love these books, and you guys really make the enjoyment of this hobby so much better!!!!

Thanks again!

40 for all three Pink mags 0 and chaos red is good for the most part with chaos being a harder find and mags 0 the easiest
