Filing and other stuff

This afternoon I’ve spent generally tidying up my living room and filing stuff away.

In the process of filing stuff away I came across the Babylon 5 watch and mouse mat I got for the cost of postage ($16.50) about 6 years ago. They were originally promotional material from Sierra for their game “Babylon 5: Into the Fire” which was unfortunately scrapped close to the end of its development when Sierra Studios reorganised in 1999.

Anyway, it got me thinking, “I wonder how much these things are selling for these days.” So, I did a little Google search. It seems that my investment all those years ago was a good one. The watch is selling for between $50 and $70 and is considered “very rare” on the collectors sites. However, the mouse mat isn’t doing so well and is only in the region of $15. Still, I think it was a good buy over all.
