| | |  First edition Chamber of Secrets auctioned off
At the beginning of the month we told you that Oxfam would be auctioning off, amongst other things, a first edition copy of Chamber of Secrets. It was estimated to sell for between £300 - £500. The lot has now been sold for £360. The money raised will go toward helping the charity and its work all around the world. Quote:
Simon Roberts, of Bonhams books, said: "It is extraordinary what emerges from these Oxfam shops.
"It is a snapshot of what people have read and collected over the past century."

That's wonderful

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I'm so glad that the books get so much money for people who need it.  Quote:

Same. It always surprises me when the prices are that low. Maybe people have moved on from COS now. :[

It's awesome that it went to charity, but I'm also a little surprised that the selling price was so low. Must be in poor condition.
