Ok, based on their Facebook page the final bid was for 1150 Euros. Does not include any fees (see next paragraph).

Also careful reading of the auction description page shows that the 50 Euro fee was for membership to the week-long festival, so you got other benefits besides being able to bid, so I was wrong to call it just a "bidder registration fee".

Given that this was a charity auction I am hoping beyond hope that the winner was bidding the charity, not the book.

"Proceeds from the auction will go to local charities."

Yikes, some people must not have read the updated descriptions. Does that total include the 50 euro "bidder's registration" fees collected?

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?

Thanks HouseOfLostTales, that's quite a collection! There are a few items that interest me (I sent you a note on eBay about one) but I am limited on what I can bring into the house right now. Hopefully you are getting other inquiries as well.
