This is my one. The book as I said is in great condition, but the slipcase is scruffy as shown

That slipcase isn't too bad, to be honest. They are very rarely in non-scruffy condition, as the paper coating is the opposite of durable.

It seems it lacks the slipcase/box, am I right?
In the description the seller writes "Deluxe Edition - this is the ninth Impression (Which apparently didn't include the slip case)": I don't know he/she's referring specifically to his/her book or broadly to the 9th impression of this edition (but according to http://www.tolkienbooks.net/php/details2.php?id=438 the 9th impr was issued in a box).

Yes, that copy is lacking the box it was issued in. I'd suggest waiting for a better copy (and possibly spending £10 - 20 more)

These come up all the time, for very affordable prices, esp the later boxed ones. I have a boxed and a slipcased edition and both I were able to bargain down for under 50 USD...actually the one that is hard to find is the later UnwinHyman LOTR. That one I'm still looking for.

I've been following this bid. It went from $0.99 to $30 in 13 hours!

Part of the price jump is that they are in a complete set and in not too bad of shape. The ACE editions are interesting to me as I see them listed for all sorts of prices from two to four figures in price.

It's like dealers don't quite know how to pin down the market value for them.

I don't think this is a dealer, is it? It's just a popular set. Tends to go for $50-75 from what I've seen (if they're are in ok shape, which they often aren't). Please tell me if I'm wrong.
