The Hobbit, 3rd print, no DJ
I think the asking price is too high here for no dust jacket.
About double what it could be found for, given patience, realistically.
(Dealer lists two available)
(1982 3rd print, looks to be in great shape)

Yes, relatively scarce. Only a few thousand were printed.

I got a fantastic set of these (also 1sts) in July for $60, so it can be had for much less.

The exact same set? HoughtonMifflin or HarperCollins?

I have noticed that these 2002 HC sets do send to sell quite cheaply on eBay UK. Even though there was only one impression, I suspect it was pretty giant, as they were available for several years off the back of that one impression.
