Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Wow congrats! Where did you find complete Sydney and Lillehammer 1994? And yeah I would. I paid $110 AUD but I think the lowest I listed it was at $70 AUD but you can have it for $60 AUD/54USD . It's not the whole bid book. I bought the Manchester set and the book I have came in that so it is part of the bid book set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Manchester set and the book I have came in that so it is part of the bid book set Wow 54-55 sounds great! Considering Manchester failed and was not that great of a bid a small summary is all I really need. The Sydney and Lillehamer were on Abebooks. I also found an NYC for a really cheap price! The most I'm paying for a book is Sydney 2000 which is complete. Paris 2012 is the next most expensive. I'm so excited though right now! I didn't have the money, but I found vintage star wars and star trek cards in great conditon and sold them to my comic book shop and gained a large enough payment to afford all of this.

mr.bernham Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm thinking of not buying the Paris 2012 one...the seller has 0 feedback and only accept private sales with a bank account withdrawal through pay-pal. I read up and all findings tell me to Run from this (and the deal is not that great) but I would really like to have that book. Should I go with my guts and run or go with my heart and buy?

tominger Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 546 $ for Paris??? Ways too much for a not succesful Bid. I would pay 500 for a succesful bid - and not more. Anything over this is too much. Paris will pop up once again - be patient and don't throw money out of the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes but have you actually bought them yet? I messaged a few abebooks sellers a while back and they hadn't updated them. I had seen that Sydney one, was saving it for when I won some money. Don't buy the Paris won. I bought Paris for around $80 but about $150 postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna do $152! HAHAHAHA! I always had my eyes on NYC bids as I live 20 min away from the city. When I saw this one, it was a steal! I would never pay more than $200 for a failed bid. I thought this was gonna be my first one, but when I saw you starting to talk about it here and that you have a lot of money for it, I was getting so nervous. LOLOL! Some bid books are just too pricey, you got it for an AMAZING price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
