Request for assistance: Need a wiki page for buying andselling GTA01

[ian douglas]

... which brings up an interesting question: how many people are likely to
want to buy a GTA01 once the GTA02 is released?

I'm thinking about listing my GTA01 for sale *now* than to try to sell it
in March/April/Whenever when demand for it will be much less.

Thoughts?

Ian
