I understand that this publication is out of print and worth quite a lot of money but before I commit to a premier post can it really be worth in excess of £150.00?

I wouldn't bother. Whenever the topic comes up on here I dangle my mint copy in front of everyone at a £250 "price point" and have never had the slightest whiff of interest...

In reply to felt:

Cheers that's exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. It goes to prove theory is one thing practice is quite another.

No.

Had a look on the 'bay to see what copies were going for these days.

Item 391374009909

Unless I've missed something, the seller had it "Buy it now", post free, for £2.04. If so, someone got a bargain.

In reply to GridNorth:

Going back 5 or more years several did go on ebay for sums in excess of £150 but I never look any more. I guess a listing on ebay would be cheaper than a premier post

In reply to felt:

I was offered more than £200 on this very Forum a few years ago, perhaps I missed my opportunity

In reply to GridNorth:

You most certainly did.

The thing is that I'd be very happy to get rid of my copy.

1. because it doesn't interest me in the slightest.
2. because with its spine on my bookshelf it looks as if I'm into Death Metal or Funeral Doom (I had to look this one up) or something awful like that, which couldn't be further from the truth, my idea of heaven being Hawaiian pedal steel from the 1950s.

In reply to felt:

Id be happy to purchase it for £50 if its in reasonable condition and you want to get rid of it.

PM me if that interests you.

Cheers

In reply to Macca_7:

Thanks for the offer, but it's in mint condition and I couldn't possible accept less than I would need a premier post to advertise it correctly.

Just for you:

Its a shame its worth so much as I've been after a copy for years but at those prices it could pay for my flight and share of car hire and fuel to verdon at the weekend!best to keep things in perspective from my end!hope you sell it to someone who would appreciate it though.

In reply to GridNorth:

There's one on ebay at the moment with 3 bids on it, currently at £79. Follow the bidding, it goes in 2 days and see what it goes for.

In reply to GridNorth:

I was going to bequeath mine to my nephews (no children) but I don't want to push them over the inheritance tax limit!

sold my mint copy to someone in Aus for £250 about 5 years ago, bought lumicycle mtb lights and got more fun out of them than the book (nice as it is!). no regrets even though lights worn out.

In reply to EddInaBox:

Thanks. In the spirit of the thread I'll offer you fifty quid tops.

In reply to GridNorth:

Just for the record, I'm not "wanting" to get rid of it but for offers of over £150 I would be willing to consider selling.

Went for £104.50 if that's any help.
