For example...

eBay item 130677724299

Perhaps (£169) the other end of the price range, but not untypical.

Or for an even more terrible price...

J.R.R. Tolkien, Fellowship of the Ring, 1966, last impression before the 2nd

Actually, think this might belong in another part of the forum...

Thanks for the thoughts and links, Khamul! Hm, it seems like the seller I found has a pretty reasonable price, then. Not a bargain, but not overpriced.

It was in fact I who bought the fourth impression FOTR earlier today! If the book matches the description gven, it will be a decent price for the book.

I agree that it should be possible, even now, to put together a reasonable first edition set for £30 to £50 for each volume. However, you will have to keep your eyes open, take your time and not be tempted to overbid!

well done Roccondil
A good buy - agree with your comments patience is a key factor. The only problem i have found is that you end up with different impressions that arent even close. Guess I am being too fussy.
I have a feeling with H Film on horizon we will see a blip in prices so maybe by now or save money till next year?
This being said bargains are still out there -maybe a little harder to find thats all.
Good luck
