First edition prices

Post by Kiwichris »

In my recent trawling through a 2nd hand store I saw first editions of YOLT and Octopussy & The Living Daylights for NZ$95 each. Another had a YOLT also for $95. Are these prices any good for reasonably, but not perfect, condition hardbacks with dust jackets intact? I suppose due to these books being later in the series their rarity will lessen due to the first print run being in higher numbers. Also I suppose Octopussy & The Living Daylights only having the two stories and not Property of a Lady and 007 in New York might lower collectors appeal.

What are good prices for 1st ed Flemings and should I buy these? Any advice would be appreciated.
