Hi everybody, I'm posting here to ask if somebody knows where to find the two books in the title from someone that ships to Portugal. There's currently only one option for each on Ebay but the prices are ridiculous and none on Amazon. I don't know if the prices are normal or not but I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance, John.

Alas, dragontyrant, I've had a quick search on those sites and you are right - it looks like it's silly prices and/or not shipping abroad.
What sort of money would you be prepared to pay for them?
I could try to keep an eye out for them online or in the 2nd hand shops and PM you on here if I see anything within your price range.

If possible I would like to spend close to the prices in the Fighting Fantasy Collector Checklist 2020, 150 for Magehunter and 125 for Revenge but anything under 200 would already be a deal for me. If anyone in this site has this books to sell and can/will ship to Portugal please feel free to contact me. Thanks bloodbeasthandler. |

Are those the only books you are on the lookout for?

Yes they're the only ones left to complete my collection, a mix between originals and portuguese version. That's why I'm contemplating buying the ones on Ebay even though they're super expensive. I remember seeing them online a couple years ago for 70£ each and tought they where super expensive...

For anyone who is interested, I’ll be auctioning these two books on eBay over the next few weeks.
Magehunter will be up today, along with Siege of Sardath.
Links not available at time of posting but a quick search will find them once they are live (8pm GMT)

Yeah, I was also looking for those books but the prices are an absolute murder.
(and also for the Portuguese - not Brazilian - edition of Creature of Havoc, but that has another issue: it's absolutely impossible to find anywhere!)

Yeah, they do go for high prices. But I look at it as an investment. They keep or increase their value, so if you are careful with them when you read them you can always sell them on again once you are done with them, if you want.

They sure seem to rise exponentially in price that is for sure. I feel like they were going for a third of what they are going for now even just a few years ago. You likely aren't getting a deal on anything collectible on ebay these days. Your best bet is to probably just keep looking locally and hope you get lucky.

Ah, crap. And here I was wondering I had just stumbled upon a plot for a potential new book...

I think you could still be on to something. How about the next magazine adventure is a modern day one and involves an FF fan going on a quest to collect 5 "sacred relics". Copies of Deathmoor, Knights of Doom, Magehunter, Revenge of the Vampire and a first edition Curse of the Mummy. When the books are finally united it brings about a sense of personal fulfillment (along with a bloody big bag of gold of course).
