First edition copies sold

https://lookingforerdnase.polyscopic.works/sales/

This is a list of what first edition copies of TEATCT sold for in the past. The sum is given with two figures, the first is excluding fees, buyer’s premium, etc. and roughly translates to what the seller got. The second figure in parentheses is including fees (but excluding e.g. shipping and insurance) and is closer to what the buyer paid. Many thanks to Bill Mullins for providing an initial list, and Steve Forrester, Gabe Fajuri, and Richard Evans for additional information.
