Sold for 5 times the original sale price. Not entirely surprising. These are so limited in number and it's such a great book. I remember when these were still available and the Haggerty ticker was slowly ticking down from the 40s into the 30s, a part of me thought 'I should just buy 5 or 10 of them and then sell them for sky high prices once they're a hot commodity out of print.' Then another part of me heard the voice of Treebeard calling this "orc-work," and I bought my one copy and went on my way.
"It is the orc-work, the wanton hewing – rarum – without even the bad excuse of feeding the fires, that has so angered us; and the treachery of a neighbour, who should have helped us. Wizards ought to know better: they do know better. There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men bad enough for such treachery."
