| I certainly thought that a first edition would go for at least triple their estimate. I guess we'll see. |

Shane O. Dalton Magical Law Enforcement | You'd think that their estimate would be much higher than that. I guess it isn't so high seeming it isn't autographed.
I hope that the book is sold for more than what they're estimating. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Regina Roa aka "Steelsheen" First Year | yeah i expected that it would've fetched a higher price given that it is a first ed copy, i could only guess its been pretty beat up.
you know, they could triple the asking price if JKR would sign it. it may not be mint condition anymore, but JKR's siggy+ first ed copy= mucho money. |
