It obviously sells for a lot more but I offer you this opportunity to get it for almost half the price

We are scaling down and selling off a lot of stuff and unfortunately these cannot come with us. So if this is your type of thing or you'd like a "talking" piece on living room cabinet this works nicely.

It is...was. Had I known there would be so much interest I'd have asked more

Wait, is that ALL the books?

Haha I wouldn't have bought it, for the same reason you sold it.

Wait, is that ALL the books?

It's all of them including the original comic strip excluding one book which is deemed not fit for today's world (or ever?).

EDIT: Tintin in the Congo is not there.

Why do you say that?

The first edition came out in 1932 I think and it was re-written to an extent in 1946.

Things were different then and people were less educated on racism/colonialism etc. But it is still a relevant piece of literature and art.

That's a nice purchase for whoever got it.

 

[Hamster]

Why do you say that?

I have no real feelings regarding that book. It's probably not right to profit from it anymore in this day and age but it does make the existing ones more "sought after".

The new age fascist sitting on your left would disagree.
