I still have an unused copy of usa today from 9-12-01, I wonder what people would pay for that? I picked it up at my hotel that morning and did not have the stomach to open it that day. figured I would save it for when my son is older.

By the way you can buy additional copies of the Tribune on their website for the face value. Not sure how long it will take to get them or how long the demand will keep up on Ebay though.

come to think if it - I put one on craigslist for $45 .. I am holding it for a guy on Sat. at 9am.

Bt I am kicking myself b/c someone from the UK wants it and already has a money order for 1,000$ on its way.. Ijat have to send him the remainder of the money..

Stuff like this is typically a quick hype that fizzles out pretty quickly... at least from past experience, but good to know!!! (do tell the ebay customers this secret :lol: )

My Trib is out in the trash near the street waiting for tomorrow's garbage pick up. Feel free to go dumpster diving.
