Full collection for sale

[daveramsey]

Following the sad passing of Joe Arthur his collection is now up for sale on ebay. I'm not sure if I can post a link here, but if you search for "Massive Advanced Squad Leader collection inc. + MANY 3rd party packs OOP/Rare" you should find it.

All the money raised from this sale will be going to charity. Given the size of it, it's probably only convenient for UK buyers.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly. The collection is currently in my possession.

Just to clarify it's on ebay UK.

Good luck finding a proper home for all his ASL stuff, this has been on my mind as well, I need to make sure everything I have from almost 60 years in this hobby stays in the hobby with my friends in New England when the day comes I can't use it anymore.

Mine goes to Tony and Steve and then free to anyone who wants it.

I don't think it will be worth trying to sell it.

 

[olli]

Not sure about my stuff to be honest .

No way my wife is going to want to be hassled with selling my stuff. My son plays he'll probably get it.

Go to ebay UK and search exactly what he wrote above

It's an auction.
Any chance it ships to the US?

 

[clubby]

The description basically says no shipping anywhere so probably not. It's a substantial collection.

Given the shipping cost it is almost cheaper to travel there and pick it up personally. Then pack it in the checked in luggage.

I looked into shipping costs of a collection from UK to USA and it ran into about 300 pounds.

You can get all of that in the USA if you look...no need to pay exorbitant Shipping.

Collections like this rarely come up in the UK..

Seems like an underestimate...shipping is mad these days

Alan’s stuff that was going to be bought by somebody was going to cost a low 4 figure amount , but that did include a fair bit of non ASL stuff too

 

[daveramsey]

We have 4 interested players who are actively offering - so we'll get a good price and the collection will be going to a good home. It's almost certainly staying in the UK.

 

[fenyan]

Good to have a nice collection like Alan's "stay home" so to speak.

So like 15%...

Cheaper than buying a single game paying the same for the game.

I think that's woefully underestimated. I just paid for shipping royal mail from the UK for two items and the guy charged me exactly the price he paid. It was just shy of $40 US. This is 9 crates of gear. I'd guess $1000 would be more in line with reality.
