CEMETERY DANCE COLLECTORS CLUB

[Martin]

Thanks for the info, Martin. I was thinking along the same lines as you...

No matter the reason I will not pre-order from CD and will not order from CD without going through the normal channels. I checked my records. In 5 days (02/23/2007) my oldest pre-order (Shocklines) will be 19 years old. I am not even sure how many pre-orders I have because I honestly stopped caring. I will eventually get them or I won't. What I will not do is add more to the list.

Just got an e-mail from Blu Gilliand saying he was leaving CD online. Probably a huge blow to the site.

Figured I try here before going to eBay. Anyone interested in the complete collection of Cemetery Dance Magazine? Looking to offload mine. All the oldest (hardest to find) are in great shape. Some of the newer ones are my subscription copies so there’s occasionally signs that they’ve been handled/read. If anyone’s interested let me know.

Good luck with eBay...shipping on that huge lot is going to be brutal, even with Media Mail. I toyed with selling mine (complete except for a couple issues) in advance of our move to another state a year-and-a-half ago, but decided to just keep and move it with us. Not only because ultimately I did want to keep them around -- for the non-fiction, if nothing else -- but I knew the shipping charge on the lot was probably going to be a tough obstacle to a sale.

Thanks man. Wish I had a somewhat local buyer. I like road trips and I'd be willing to deliver to locations within a certain radius. I'm in central California by the way. I'm watching a compete collection (minus the last 4 or 5 issues) on ebay. Not auction style. They're shooting for $4500 OBO. I can't really see them getting anywhere near that, but you never know. I'm curious to see if someone makes them an offer and what they might get for it. Considering shipping costs and ebay fees, I might wind up keeping mine too. I've got doubles of 75% of the collection. I'll probably start trying to sell some of those for now.

Just FYI, but if that eBay seller does accept an offer lower than $4500, it won't show the lower price. It will only show the $4500 with a line through it to show it wasn't sold at that price.

That's insane...they'd be lucky to get a quarter of that. Yes, the first few issues are kind of collectible, but most issues go for ten bucks on a good day, a few a bit more, sure, but a lot a good deal less. I don't know how many issues total CD put out to do the correct math (is it around 75...?), but I can't envision a complete collection going for more than a grand.

[elay2433]

That’s what I’m thinking too. Last issue I received with my subscription was #79. Subtract the double issues, I’m guessing there are 76 or 77 physical issues. There are a lot of issues posted on eBay that I consider highly overpriced. I’d expect the entire collection to fetch a grand at least, but who knows. I imagine anyone interested in collecting them probably has most of the catalogue already anyway. I’ll probably wind up hanging onto mine.

Unfortunately, more realistically, a CD mag complete collection would probably only fetch a couple, maybe few hundred now. I saw one go awhile back for around that. I was surprised as I, too, have a "near" complete collection and was watching. After that I resolved to just keep 'em.
