Actually, I've no clue as to whether some might view this as a "Wonders" item. Anyway, in flagrant breach of copyright I would suggest...

I think this is a decent price, but the rest of you would probably know better.

Re the Return of king mentioend above by Son of Dolf I have just noticed it has no front flap.

Did all the second impression wrappers have this stated on spine? ie is it possible (not saying they have of course) that this could be a second impression wrapper on first impression book?

It looks like a 1st Impression, 2nd State jacket. My notes on the A&U correspondence files don't indicate more than one print run of the 2nd Impression jacket and this had the impression number on the spine.

It's been a long, long time since someone successfully sold a complete 1st/1st HoME set on eBay. Andy housed these in some nice DM slipcases too. Price no great surprise, but interesting to note.

As you say, worth noting. I believe he has been slowly dropping the price for a while; I certainly saw them at £1,500 before the latest £1,350 listing.

I think (without searching finished auctions) it was listed at about £1650, perhaps a couple of time (maybe more), before he dropped the price; again it might have listed a couple of times.

I think, pretty consistently (again without looking thro' notebooks etc), for the past ten years (on eBay that is) prices for full sets have remained fairly static. On open auctions (sometimes with reserves) bidding has always climbed quite quickly to £1000, before petering out. The price realised feels pretty right.
