Don't Get Ripped Off Over Books

I'm often really shocked at the price some airwolf stuff is sold for. Obviously some stuff is really worth the asking price due to the rarity of the item, yet other stuff just isn't rare at all and your often being ripped off by a so called fellow fan.

I have seen the "Airwolf 1" book on sale for as much as $320 and i have seen the "Airwolf 2" book going for between $80 & $150. These were not new, sealed or mint in any way shape or form, some even had yellow stained pages.

It's a sad case of fans trying to rip off fans simply because buyers trust sites they know and will pay over the odds for that level of comfort. I bet you can't guess how much i got both of these books for...

So ill tell you.

Airwolf 1 = £2.95 TOTAL INC'S SHIPPING from London to Liverpool

Airwolf 2 = £2.95 TOTAL INC'S SHIPPING from London to Liverpool
That would have often cost me in the region of £40 to £70 on eBay and around £8 shipping FOR ONE All depends on the day you look (on ebay)

What if i told you i even managed to get a copy of  Airwolf Das Buch  for a mere £10.06, this is Never cheep on ebay

THAT TOTAL i paid INC'S SHIPPING TO THE UK  all the way from a basic book shop in Germany!

That would have cost me in the region of £70 to £120 on eBay and around £8 to £15 shipping.

During my merch guide research i came across a few random places  (i will NOT link this)  That way i can not be accused of earning money OR any kinda incentives. This post is about YOU not being ripped off, not me earning referrals!

A website called  AbeBooks was what i used (amazon is a parent company) Abe is used by bog standard every day "Second Hand Book Shops" all around the world, not just collectors!

As such a book on abe for say £2.95 inc shipping is probably currently on the shelf in the shop for around £0.70 to £1.20. It's just a 2nd hand book for sale, not some kinda rare as hell asset.

To a book shop its just a 2nd hand book, however to ebay sellers its like some kinda meal ticket and your a mug for paying them prices.

I also chose abe because you do not have to store payment info, you can just type it in every time you order something. This i felt is important, if abe was ever breached.. no payment info can be stolen unless you'd stored it.

Just google AbeBooks, then search for  Airwolf, look at the prices of the books between Lowest/Highest,  then look at the prices for Highest/Lowest. You'll swiftly see the difference between a second hand book shop & scum bags tryna rip off fans.

Ide do it soon too, no doubt a vast chunk of the so called community will buy them up after reading this, and suddenly they will be worth $300+ because them scum bags will be your only option to buy one.

So before the traders and scabs in our community wipe out the current stocks from random sellers.. dig in and get ya self something :)

I could have bought 6 of each for the usual price of just one off ebay  AND I NEVER

I HOPE NONE OF YOU BULK BUY.... OUR COMMUNITY IS DAMAGED ENOUGH !

IM ALSO NOT SAYING EVERYONE SHOULD USE ABEBOOKS..
I AM SUGGESTING YOU SHOP AROUND.. AND AVOID THESE RATS WHO PLAGUE THE FRANCHISES FAN BASE..
THOSE WHO OFTEN CLAIM TO BE PART OF IT BUT ONLY HANG ROUND TO MILK IT!


o,  and your welcome......
