How much is the complete set of the 90s Gundam Novel Translation worth?

[MinmayMusicManiac]

Just curious as I found some copies for sale for $35 US (+ $20 US for shipping to Canada) & i want to make i''m not paying too much as many listings i see are over $100 US (& that is before accounting for Canadian shipping). The reason i'm buying the 90's translation is because i can't find the omnibus for sale anywhere that isn't also charging $120 US (& that is before accounting for Canadian shipping) I thank you very much in advance as I rarely sign out of forums when i leave to read other forums

P.S. I am aware that Zak = Zaku, Sha = Char, & Duchy of Jion = Principality of Zeon in the 90s translation

Looking at the eBay listings for individual volumes of the 1990 Frederik Schodt translation, they seem to average about $30 a volume (shipping not included).

The cheapest one I've found is $13.19 for Volume II. Volume II seems to be the cheapest, averaging about $19-20 + shipping. Volume I seems to run around $22-30 + shipping. Volume III seems to be the most expensive of the lot, with the few copies on offer running anywhere from $40-64. Looks like you can probably save about $40 or so by buying the volumes individually instead of going for all three as a lot.

EDIT: I am unaccountably amused that the Japanese edition, with shipping, is somehow cheaper than the old English translation.

If the $55 you're paying covers the full trilogy, then you're getting a pretty sweet deal, especially when you consider that most listings these days are going for over $100 even before shipping. Slope Game
