For a 1st? Yes. I haven't looked recently, but the cheapest I saw was £50. I see the one you are talking about - good luck!
Oh forgot I got a Red Seas Proof edition. Plus, you know that Game of Thrones Proof I said you should get for £100? There is one on eBay for £500 at the moment...
The thing I've learnt is an asking price on ebay is no measure of an item's value.There's a S/L/D Rivers of London on there for £149, but it doesn't mean it's worth it, as my copy cost £35 in p p.Admittedly mine is only signed, but the premium for L/D doesn't extend that far in my experience.
There's lots of chancers on ebay imho, and I always go to "completed" listings to get a true value of something's worth.I did find it interesting that the Rivers of London didn't sell even at £39 considering what (I think) they're worth.At least I have the set now, maybe I should go read it data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
The one I still find interesting is Mark Lawrence.Aside from the odd cheap exception, just signed editions of Prince of Thorns are still going for up to £30 each.Which makes me think that (hopefully) my signed, lined, dated, doodled copy is going to fetch a premium within 12 months, when he brings out the last part of the trilogy data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Will also be interesting to see if the big supermarkets run with King of Thorns in paperback (as they did with the first one), as it's things like this (imho) which help to get a book to critical mass.In fact I bought the first one in paperback after seeing it in Tescos data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Just for you Theydon, here's my growing collection of 1st/1sts/signed/collectibles...

All of the GRRM ones arrived yesterday/today, and they're all 1sts apart from Clash of Kings.Not that it makes much difference as these aren't really worth anything unless you have the first book.I'm still tempted to buy one....
edit:Just bought another one too, the first in a while.I've ordered another copy of King of Thorns, this one being one of 10 copies he's signed, lined, dated and doodled.If I get the final part of his trilogy next year, that'll be the whole trilogy S/L/D/D data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7Wonder how much they'll be worth in a couple of years data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
As of right now, after 24 hours there's one copy left at £40....
Hello All...
