Hi all, I’ve got a copy of a Middle Earth Wargames Rules manual from S.E.L.W.G. printed by Skytrex in 1976, and after reading the grading guidelines it seems to be very fine by my estimate - cover has mild fading but interior is fantastic, staples are bright, no writing tests or folds.  I have no idea what to auction this for since sales seem extremely rare.  Anyone have an idea?  I know SELWG is South East London Wargames Club which is still active, so if any members are here perhaps they’d know?  Thanks!

That booklet used to sell for a decent amount up to 5/7 years ago (i.e 30/50 bucks for vg conditions of better)... from that time i spotted (few) auctions where it didn't sell even if the starting price was low... i don't know the reasons behind this trend but that is what i noted!
In any case you can list it as a 7-day auction with a detailed description an a good amount of pics... if you start at, say, 10 dollars and leave a link here, you could sell it for 30 bucks maybe!

I'd second that.
Nice little item but surprisingly common, particularly here in the South of England!
Perhaps start an auction a little higher but be prepared to reliat it until the right buyer comes along.


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Thanks to you both!  I’m guessing this is better than very good - other than mild cover wear the inside is almost like new - but this gives me an idea of roughly what to expect - thanks again!
