Just noticed this listed for auction on eBay today - one each of the pupil's pamphlets (story books) from The Boy From Space New Edition, Dark Towers, Fair Ground! and Badger Girl.

They look in great condition, still tightly bound and unmarked from the picture, and starting from a reasonable £2.99 (have to say - I've paid more than that for just one old pamphlet in the past!). Taking bids till a week on Thursday. It certainly makes a change from the constant plague of bootleg L&R DVDs normally going through eBay!

Would be perfect for anybody planning to use the stories with kids this autumn, much better than the clunky book scans available on the site anyway. It'll be interesting to see what price they finally go for - an original Through The Dragon's Eye video recently went for £41!

(For the record, I am not selling these books and I have no idea who is selling them)

Paul - you're old enough to bid or you're the one selling the books?

If the former, then I hope you get 'em cheap. If the latter, then I hope you get a high price!

I think they'l end up going for around £25 in the end. It's clear from the counterfit DVD sales that there is a lot of demand for L+R on ebay.

So - £22.01, with a bit of thrilling sniping at the end. Not at all unreasonable, I should say, and the predictions above were pretty spot on.

It would certainly have been very surprising to see them go for less than about a fiver each - and annoying too as I've paid that much in the past! But it doesn't seem like there's any millionaire collectors out there willing to bid obscene amounts for Look & Read memorabilia.

Will anybody else be spurred on to sell off their old books after seeing this result, I wonder?

I bid up to £12.50 for the books but I didn't want to go any higher than that as I have already downloaded them from the website lol. I suspected I would get outbid anyway.

So having dodgy scans of the books for free download reduces the potential value of the real things? Ha - for god's sake nobody tell BBC Brand Protection about that!

I could quite easily have won that auction if I'd wanted but I was only really going to buy them to sell on lol my perogative. Wasn't going to pay a lot of money for them just to say oh look I won the auction.
