Good evening .
I own the copy number 230 of 1000, mint condition. My uncle gave me fo my 18th birthday for the porpouse of collection. I would like to know the current prices, and in case, if someone should be interested. Come with the cardboard box.
I can upload pictures, if interested.
Thanks in advance

I'm sure many members would be interested if you were to post some images of the book, slipcase, and publisher's box that would be helpful.

I would surely be interested.

We have had quite a few sales of these, this year, so can give a rough price.

Unsigned editions

£3,000 with faded spine
£4,000-£5,000 with no fading or any damage to the book.

No signed copies this year, but I think they would be starting at about £7,000 - £8,000

Thank you very much to everyone

As the spine is faded on your copy, you could expect to get about £3,000 if you sold through eBay or an Auction House, bear in mind if you sell privately such as to a member on this site, then you won't have to pay the fees.

If you are interested in selling, then please indicate that, and interested members can send you a Private Message on the site.

If you decide to sell via eBay or an Auction House, then feel free to post details on the site as well.

Good Luck and you were given a great present.

Thank you very much Trotter.
Yes, I'm interested in selling.
Spine is not Faded at all, these are quick phone pictures.
Better pics for interested people, of course. Opened the book three times, kept always inside the cardboard box.
Thanks for your help Totter!
