I've only been seriously collecting Tolkien for about 10 years so i only know so much. But these prices are ludacris. Anyone agree or disagree?
I understand to some degree that The Hobbit's gonna sky rocket in price because of the obvious, but other JRRT books???? Especially with no jacket and in ROUGH shape!
So i just want to know what you guys are thinking because not only am i pretty upset that there is a Hobbit TRILOGY, but do all JRRT books have to sell for absurd prices?
