I missed it completely - probably to do with the fact that the auction title was so uninformative.

Nice find for someone!

Agreed nice find and I think good price myself. Also missed the auction due to the fantastically informative auction title.

But did manage to buy one recently with the signed label (the one with "Published 15 September 1977" at the bottom of label).

Oh crap --didn't realise the seller had posted my question. I don't normally sign off my ebay questions either...

The emails went on for a little after that too. It's an employee copy. In the end I put in a bid for what, I think, it is worth: £100.

Very nice remy --I don't have a signed copy like that. Would you be able to send me some pictures of it privately? [Just PM me.]

£100 for a Fine Signed 1977 Silmarillion??

Would you sell your 2 copies for £100 each??

To answer your question though: probably. I don't need three copies. And, I didn't pay any more than £100 (well, most expensive was £102) for any of them. But, currently, I'm getting DM to make some nice marbled slipcases for them. In the future I'd like to hand one or two of them on to other collectors though; perhaps if I acquire some different examples first.

Well done Remy a great find and a good question for khamul re selling them for £100. I suspect I know the answer!

I just gave my answer: yes; depending on who to!
