I'm looking for first prints of the standard HarperCollins hardback editions of Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. While new copies are easy enough to find, I haven't had much luck identifying first prints. Does anyone here have copies they may be willing to sell?

Update: It doesn't need to be a 1st impression. I'm just looking for a L.E.G.O. print.

I was really lucky to find them on ebay 2 months ago... But I have looked for a long time before that...
Mustycats on ebay sold them just before I found mines for £250 each, and they have been sold during the day...

I did see one that sold on eBay in August. Sounds like you got that one :)
Sounds like these are rather hard to come by?

I have a first printing of this edition of Sil, I got it for $2 because the DJ is in pretty rough shape, the book itself is in fine condition though. I also have a 17th printing that is in mint/fine condition.
I also have this edition of UT and your question got me curious as to what printing it is...alas it is an 11th printing.

I'm actually after a L.E.G.O. printing, which I assumed would need to be a 1st impression. But now I've learned (thank you Berelach!) that they did multiple impressions.

Sorry, £250 is a pure nonsense price. Nobody should be paying that for either of these.
I never said it was a fair price. Was just reporting a fact.

I think L.E.GO. has printed those till the 3rd impression.

^ This reads like you bought copies for £250 each.

Can you share these 'sold' listings here? I'd be interested in seeing that.
