The CoH went for about £1000 including the premium. I snagged Ingahilds 1977 premiere at just shy of £500 - positively surprised at the price since this edition (like the queen herself) is a big deal in scandinavia and ive seen even the 2001/2002 reprint of this deluxe go for quite a bit.
Lot 6087 3,600 kr ($423 USD, £304) Lot 6104 7,500 kr ($882 USD, £633), much cheaper than the £1000 copy on eBay at the moment.
I think you have converted using norwegian or swedish kroner instead of danish Trotter. We keep things complicated in scandinavia ...one currency would just have been too simple.
