I hope this blatant self-promotion is OK to post?

I've decided to clear out a portion of my collection to make some room. There is a good variety of items from LotR first edition sets (UK and US), an RU set, various Hobbits, and sone scholarly works.

My wife is running the auction on eBay and has listed everything to start at 0.99p. Even if you're not interested in buying anything: the items are well listed and photographed and should give a good indication of current market values... which as a collector I personally find fascinating. There are few things still to list, but the majority is now up. It's a UK auction only. Items are listed ending every 15 minutes for most of the day.

I'm especially interested in seeing the price difference between a Clowes, Billing, and BCE, and seeing how some of the second edition UK slipcases sell at auction as (at least here in the UK) they don't seem to come up too often! #dataisbeautiful ;)
