Hi guys!
I just purchased a grail diary yesterday from "indyj" on e-bay! I was just wonfdering if anyone else has one or knows about them? It looked pretty good from the pics and item description, but i guess i`ll have to wait till it arrives to find out. It was the best looking one on e-bay at the time, that`s why i went for it. I`ve noticed they auction one fairly often and they had two up for auction at the time i got it. The one i bid on went for less which was good luck! I ended up paying just over $250.00. Is this a reasonable price for a grail diary?
Anyway, any thoughts please let me know!
Thanks, mikiejedi.

It was a "finished" diary (filled with text, drawings and inserts) or a blank diary? If it was a blank one probably you overpaid it... Mine (blank), purchased by a guy named Sulla (Andy) was just around $60 (shipped and with all the inserts)

Hi Ramiel.
Yeah, it was a finsihed diary, with all the inserts and filled pages. The leather has been aged to look like the original too! I have to say it does look pretty impressive from the pics but i`ll know more when i receive it. Some of their other auctions have gone over $300.00.
If you go to e-bay you can see it, as they have more up for auction.
let me know what you think!
Mikie.

Hi Ramiel!
I just e-mailed the people i brought the diary from and they said the pages are filled. I just thought i`d better check with them that it wasn`t a blank one!.
Ciao, Mikie.

I have an 1ndyj Diary. I purchased in December. It is completely filled out and in a story type form. All of the main pages should be there. Mine did not have the most famous "Three Trials" page that got Indy throught the traps. I remedied that with my own. The pics on the auction show the page in the diary, maybe he fixed it or had forgotten to add it to mine. The inserts are OK. I redid all of them in mine. They are not the best. The Diary itself is very well put together. A couple of pages pics are pixelated but they can be easily overlooked. I have read the entire diary and thourghly enjoy leafing through it from time to time. I purchased it for the same price as you it sounds. Like I said the inserts are OK; paper is not write, most one sided or too small. You might want to try and redo them. And there are some missing, happy hunting for those. Here are some pics of my redone inserts: Like I said the Diary is sturdy, well put together and entertaining. Have fun exploring it.

Hi....!
Just got my grail diary from "indyj" on e-bay!
I`m pretty happy with it seeing as it is my first one! The thing i first thought was that it seemed a little too thick, otherwise everything else looks ok! I think it may have to do with the way it is bound. Anyway, just want to know other peoples thoughts if they have one.
Regards, Mikie.
