That is quite normal for eBay, the Sniping tools usually bid in the last 5 seconds.

Abebooks just listed one without the dustjacket for £1500 minutes after the auction ended

Was more than expected though , if complete maybe ?

Oh, I didn't know that there was software for doing this!

Did not think it would go for as much as this, I know it has a partial dust-jacket.
My guess was $2500, didn't think it would go this high, but not shocked.

I think the final sale price, would have been ok if the jacket was in better shape, but with the jacket the way it was, it was a tad high IMO

Gone, kuddos to whoever got it!

Wow. Didn't expect that to go as quickly as it did! Oxfam also had two out of the three out of the 1963 deluxe edition for £330 which went after a few hours.

The 1963 part set was me - I wanted the RoTK to complete my incomplete set. Of course I will now have a spare TT, so I can either start building a third set or see if I can sell the TT. Even if I don't manage to sell the spare, the whole set was sub-£500, which in today's market is good. I'm going to use my set with the original box as a template to make a really accurate high-quality facsimile slipcase for it.

Thanks to laurel for the heads-up about it being on the Oxfam site.
