Sir Miles

Thanks for the heads up....I've never bothered with these before as I have quite a few of the first editions, but I doubt I'll ever own a complete set of Fleming firsts and this could be the best way. I wonder what the likely final price will be ?

I am betting it will go over £6000 maybe more -{

Superb condition !

Yeah, I wish. I'm thinking about £300.

bondaholic007

Have you not seen how much Casino Royale has been going for? I have seen it on eBay with worse condition go for £2500 on its own, let alone all the others, and in this condition.

But that is just my opinion of the price.

Asp9mm

Hmmm, we shall see then

7289

This set of books is the best you can get short of the original first editions.

No Bond collection is complete without a top notch set of the Fleming thrillers!!!!

... I think I may be wrong.

Why is this not going to the price I expected, when I have seen worse condition CR's go for £2500?

You are aware these are only facsimile reprints of the Jonathan Cape First Editions, and not the originals themselves?

bondaholic007

Oh, I see. Thank you

I guess they will be going for around £200 - £300 then

Hells Bells, if this was a collection of mint First Editions, then the price would go well beyond £100K. Never has such a collection arisen.

True!

But if anyone wants to pay me £2500 for my mint FEL Casino Royale, then just PM me....{[]

I've had three complaints from Ebayers that their bids were blocked within the last minute of the auction. Seems like it would have gone for about £750 otherwise X-(

Ohh - that's gotta hurt !

That's seriously unfair to you, not to mention the bidders.

Can you start the auction over? Forgive me, but I don't know how these things work with Ebay.
