Are these actually worth anything?

Post by Savage Oaf »

A few months ago I was given the Warhammer 40k 1st edition rulebook and the Warhammer Fantasy 3rd edition rulebook, they are both from 1987.

Just wanted to know if they were worth selling or if I should just keep a hold of them for the time being.


Cheers!

Everything is worth something.

By "1st edition," do you mean the "Rogue trader" book? Yes. There's some value to that. A lot of people would like to have it and, while it might not be HIGHLY valuable, you would definitely sell it if you listed it here or on feebay for a decent price.
What price?
I don't know. Check Feebay completed sales:

To be fair, though, Amazon isn't always the best way to judge relative value. Just because someone's LISTING it for a price doesn't mean it's SELLING for that price.

Case in point:

Yes it is the First edition Rogue Trader one, it's in near perfect condition it just has one chip at the top right corner. It also still has the sheets you get with it, templates I think they are.

And that is why I said "listing", not "selling".

I understand, John.
I was posting that for the OP's benefit, though. As evidenced on feebay and Amazon (and, occasionally, here), some people think that if it's being listed for a certain amount it's selling for a certain amount. I was being sure that the OP understood.
