That seems rather high. If I'm going to spend that kind of money (which I don't have), I think I'd rather have an item signed by J. R. R. Tolkien or go for a nice 1st, 1st set of The Lord of the Rings (or one or two of the three books).
This looks to be a very good example of a very scarce box-set (US copies and not the even rarer UK copies)

I bought this set (the UK editions) last August on eBay for £75. I thought this was a not bad price!
(But, yeh, it isn't very common.)

A good price and free postage -

Not sure if this belongs in "Wonders," but I've never seen this edition before.
