    it's rare in the sense that it doesn't cost $120, and there really aren't that many copies floating around, especially for this price and in this condition...

    there are quite a few of them floating around, actually.

    in a NEW condition it's $58.99 - I bought mine "used" (and in MINT condition) for $25.00 at a "half price bookstore" here in Yee Haa Kansas City. It really is NOT that rare. I suggest trying to sell it to some of the kids down the street from your Lemonade Stand.

    right...umm...who cares? if you don't want it, don't buy it - you got a great (and rare) deal - i'm very happy for you. The only 'new' copies of this book are NOS - it's been out of print for many years...thus making a like new, mint copy, rare. many copies range from 60-120 dollars, and it is not an item that comes up on eBay very often.

    that's it! i'm putting you back on my ignore list - this is what i get for giving the guy another chance.

    so here is an amended description:
    a rare, mint condition copy of paul cagne's "the zombies that ate pittsburgh." $50 plus shipping. For sale to everyone BUT Adrenochrome. PM if interested.

    Here's the Amazon link:

    Looks to me that if this is indeed in mint condition, it's a sweet deal. It has been out of print for a while (I don't think it ever went into a second printing), it is generally considered a collector's item (or, at least, has been for quite afew years now) and yes, you usually have to pay a good bit for it, if you want it in good condition. My boyfriend got me mine two years ago as a birthday present--great condition, I can't recall the price, but I'm sure it was over $120.

    Lol

    While it IS out of print AND pretty rare, i have two copies, both in mint condition ... the second copy i actually picked up from a guy in germany, on eBay just a few months ago ... for the mindblowing price of $12.55!!!

    I think the fact it was in germany and the german guy didn't accept paypal put all the amerikan bidders off as no one else except for a zero feedback guy put any bids in.

    Starting price of just $10.00 of course. Though i am not arguing the fact that this book IS worth AT LEAST $50.00 and does VERY often sell for a whole lot more! If i didn't already have a copy myself ... i would be happy to pay $50.00 for it

    If no one takes you up on your offer here, you should throw it up on eBay with a starting price of $50.00 ... im sure you will get that or more.

    No need to be so crass. If honesty bothers you....well, that's another issue all-together.

    I have this book sitting in front of me. My girl rented it out of the library at her college for me. I've been procrastinating on reading it so she's been continually re-checking it out. I'm about to convince her to just let me keep it... I never realized how expensive and rare it is!

    Of course this copy is pretty damn beat up and has writing in it, from students over the years. But, oh well.
