Six boxes of Gaines Burgers, a bag of Chuck Wagon dry food and a rabies shot...
On a rare books website I was looking at, they had it listed for $239.95, not too shabby eh.
I recently was just poking around on ebay, and I saw that a first edition of Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" was going for quite a few bucks. Very Fine copies were on sale for $1,100.00 and crappy ones were at least $100). So, realizing I had the book, I checked to see what edition I had and it was a first edition. Now mine was in not very good shape, I bought it (probably) at a used book store when I was in college in the early 80s. I paid 6.95 for it (it is marked in pencil on the first page) which means if I forked out 6.95 for a book when I was in college, it must have been special (that was beer money). I really don't have any emotional attachment to it, so I stuck it on ebay and described it's many flaws (like a ripped dust jacket and a discolored cover, etc) and it sold for $200.00. I was surprised.
Here's a link to a good pricing source.

All king books are a million in my heart. Love his works. That man has one heck of a talent.
Thanks. I just randomly picked up a US first edition at a charity shop here in the UK, so I was just curious lol xx
What is the difference between a First Edition and a First Trade Edition?
The first trade edition is the first edition that is sold to the public - the one found in stores. In many cases the first trade edition is the first edition. But sometimes publishers make special deals and sell specially signed and limited editions for friends of the publisher, friends of the author, or high end specialty publishers like the Easton Press. Quite often in those cases the first edition is considered to be the special signed/numbered edition, and the one sold in stores is called the first trade edition.
