First Editions

Does anyone have a first edition of any of the books?

Some kid got £10,000 for a first edition of The Philosopher's Stone

i have a first edition of the Order of the Phoenix, the Half-Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows, and they are in pretty good nick

And if you have one would you sell them????

Same. Probably wouldn't sell them, though; I feel a certain amount of sentimentality for them.

All our first edition books were too tattered to be of much use, so we bought new ones.

We're now on our 3rd set. no expression

Either we like HP too much, or we suck at book handling.

Doubt I'd sell them, and they aren't in pristine condition either (the first being a little ragged). 1st edition , no less. smile

You also have to remember that the first four books probably didn't have high first print runs.. so that increases the price dramatically. For the last three books we are talking about 5-12 million first print runs just in America which makes the book... uhh.... almost below cost wink.

Same thing with comics and action figures.. everyone hears about how much they go for, but don't realize that from the late 80's and on that they are in high volume print runs. Where as in 1977 Star Wars toys, the print run was very low and so justifies why a carded Darth Vader goes for high bucks.

I imagine out of the seven I have a first Edition. but out of the whole 'Potter memorbilia,I would not pay money to buy the book with the thought of it being a first edition. there is nothing special about it. although selling..thats a different story. I hae like two copies of each book in my house. so I could sell the first editon I find.

Seems like so many people have First Editions, why do they sell for so much?
