Late Hobbits like this seem to be going for silly money at the moment. I expect they will all be back to a tenner in a few years when the buyers all realise that there are literally millions of copies floating about. Right now we have a wealth transfer out of the mitts of the stupid going on.

Agreed. I just think the price on these just seems excessively daft, even by dealer standards!

£102 for the last item, madness.
Would any one here ever consider this item for $225 USD? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-R-R-Tolki ... tible&hash=item1c2f213070 "Third edition fifth printing (19th impression overall) of J R R Tolkien's The Hobbit published by Allen & Unwin in 1970; hardcover with very good replica dust jacket, not price clipped (shows £1.75) in a book that itself is bright, square, and in very good condition. A good read and a great writer." I can not think why you would want a replica dust-jacket on a 1970's Hobbit, as you can get them with original dust-jackets. This copy should also not have a £1.75 on the dust-jacket, my current thinking is that £1.75 copies were probably 1972 copies. This copy should probably be priced as 25s/£1.25.

Certainly these are out of my price range! And I agree that assembling a collection piecemeal over eBay (or other sources) should put you back a lot less, but isn't that always the case when considering buying from higher end dealers?

My focus was a core of first editions of LOTR in EU languages: all sold 10 years ago. I then collected foreign Silmarillion editions but also sold / gifted many of those. I also collected fan magazines from the 1950s to 1990s and donated all those. I then spent time in ZA and collected Tolkien related materials from his infancy years in Bloemfontein. I donated all that material as well.
