WOW! thats a lot of money, i dunno if i would pay that for a signed copy though

Wow! That's a lot. I think they should've waited though. Years from now when all the books are done, they could probably get more for it!!!

Wish I had one

I'd never sell.

CatDGame · 07-20-2005, 09:45 PM

yea 500 since a lil bit especially since its first edition signed. I can't wait to the book set comes out with all 7. I wanna buy it and keep the set in perfect condition. So one day many years from now it will be alot of money. My dream.............

For some reason I thought it would go for more that that, like 700 or 800 pounds.

That a whole load of money to pay for book, signed or not.

That's stupid...

CedricBlack · 07-21-2005, 05:37 AM

hmm..too much for me willing to buy it, but it's no surprise it sold for that much i mean it was only JKR and Grandpre that signed it

iamoscar · 07-21-2005, 04:31 PM

I wonder who bought it?

mysterious · 07-21-2005, 06:35 PM

i dunno i certainly wouldn't pay that much money just for a signed book, but maybe if i had more money... maybe.. i dunno.
cool, though.

I, of course, wouldn't spend that much on a book, but I am actually surprised that it didn't sell for more! Years from now, I'm sure they would make money for it.
