The statement in the ebay listing that Harry Potter prices continues to rise is total rubbish...lol Harry Potter prices have dropped by as much as 70% in the last few months. I should know I have 17 Firsts stashed away

I know someone who had a shop on ebay selling rare editions of Pratchett, JK Rowling and other fiction, (scary BIN prices, in the hundreds) and he's recently shut up shop. I guess business isn't that great on ebay at the moment... combined with the changes to shops!My TV is broken!

Due to mortgage interest rises there is a general slump in prices of collectables of all sorts at the moment and prices of most collectable books have tumbled substantially with most being down at least 50%.
Fact of life when people have to tighten their purse strings then one of the first things to go is luxury items such as collectables. I suspect another interest rise is on the way too!0 -
does it say first edition ?
I have 2 and both of mine do just before the bloomsburry web address at the bottom of the page.0
