Hmm, not sure whether to think that's high enough or not.
Granted it's not been autographed... | |

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

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. | |

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. | |
