The Ebay Listing as of February 19, 2013.
On December 26, 2012 a Collectible 1937 The Hobbit First Edition Book Sold for $8,100 on eBay.
The Seller oneinamillionbooks described the item as: “Collectible JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit 1937 Allen & Unwin First Edition, First Printing Lowest Price for a First Printing – anywhere! 1/2 Price Sale! These few first editions left in the world are true survivors. Just like Bilbo and Frodo, most copies went on an incredible journey. They have been in the hands of many children; they have been stamped by library owners, read by millions; bombed in world wars; and just like us, aged from the elements. It would not surprise me if there were less than 100 first impressions left. This book has a profound influence on the world and has sold over 100 million copies”.
Definitely a very nice Book that brought a lot of attention and a great price.
