| | |  Fans flogging signed first edition Deathly Hallows on eBay
Fans who were lucky enough to have their first edition copies of Deathly Hallows signed by J.K.Rowling on the night of the book release in London, are flogging their copies on eBay for as much as £3,000 ($6,093.92). Jo signed 1, 700 copies in the wee hours of July 21st for competition winners. Within days of the event, 2 copies had sprung up on the auction site. The second copy is currently up for £500 ($1,015.65), although bids are expected to soar. | |

That's horrible, they shouldn't have done that! Do you know how rare it is? By the way, then the trip to London was nothing at all? This is hilarious!

If I had one of those copies I'd never ever sell it... Except if I had 2 copies, then maybe I'd sell one XD

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. | |

Ick. If I had been lucky enough to get a first edition of the novel AND to have it signed on top of that, there is no way I'd sell it. I'd keep it, I'd protect it, and I'd pass it on. Let my children sell it if they wish, But I'd never do so! | |

Most of them are probably fake anyway, there's no real way to tell. But I agree with everyone else, I would treasure the book forever if it were signed. | |

If I had a signed Harry Potter book, I'd never sell it and I'd have it behind glass.

why would they sell something as priceless as that? I mean, yeah they get the cash and can buy as many DHs they want, but none of those will be signed by JK.... | |

I would never sell that copy if I was lucky enough to get one. It's priceless. Some people can be really stupid just for money.
