Do you mean an original copy?

If you want a first edition, bahahahahahah.

There's been NUMEROUS reprints. It's even public domain now...

 

[Ang]

yes I mean an original copy sorry for the confusion

You'd be looking at spending atleast $5000.

There was actually a first edition that went for around that much at the recent Potter & Potter auction... And it was estimated for like, a $2500 high, I believe.

You don't even NEED the original..

Even though an original isn't needed it'd still be coolio to say that you own an original, lol.

If you can find one... I know a guy who owns the Drake edition, but most people I know generally have one of the CARC copies, a Powner edition, or the Ortiz/Vernon annotated versions. Although the GBC Erdnase is somewhat popular, too.

If you want one with correct pages and decent-to-read text, grab the Powner edition. If you just need a text, grab a PDF anywhere online.. It's easily available.

It's very clear that he isn't just looking for the text. I remember reading about the potter and potter auction recently enough i think, also one about 3 years ago that went for a bit less. You need a specialist.

I need a specialist? For what. Enlighten me.

His best hopes are wait for one at an auctioning site (such as Potter & Potter) or post a WTB thread on the Cafe and Genii. But let's argue his main point. If that's the direction this thread will take, it's fulfilled it's purpose.

EDIT: You're right. At first, it seemed like he only wanted a 1st edition. However, after a few of my posts, he said this:

thanks I forgot to look at Conjuring arts

To me, that implied that at that point, he just wanted a copy of the text, particularly a 1st edition if possible.

I was implying that HE needs a specialist to help him find it. An antique book specialist perhaps. Sorry if that was confusing. What you need is a coke and a smile.

Ah, I thought you were still addressing him. My apologies.

A first edition in good condition sold 4 days ago for $975.00. It was going to be an "open" sale but it changed hands privately before the web page could go up.

I know of at least one other that sold in the last 3 years for $100.00. It was also in very good condition. The lady had no idea what she had.

Sometimes you just have to get lucky.
