:thumbup:
You might have enough to buy both of my copies (signed by Bill Smith).
How many children have you got?
Re: Stud Marks on the Summit
Three children Graham, but no-one's buying so I can't afford your books. Why have you got two copies of this one?
Apart from the obvious, that you have the same slightly obsessive and nerdy habit for books that I have!

One copy is to lend to my friends.
Well my chum has a First Edition (or nearly) of every book ever shortlisted (6 a year) for the Booker Prize and which he never lends. Now that is obsessive.

Paying good money for rare books isn't so freaky.
There has been a copy on Ebay for several months now priced at £162.00 (Buy It Now)
Clearly it is no longer worth this sum and somebody should offer the seller a price below £100 for it.

The £162 copy is a book seller ie not a fellrunner who would like £100.
In the world of second hand books dealers will wait years for a buyer to meet their price.
Whereas in my case: a deal is a deal.
Re: Stud Marks on the Summit
The thing is I've read SMOTS before so I know the ending. It just isn't the same second time round.

Most book sellers, in my experience, would prefer selling their stock for a reasonable profit rather than hanging on until the market changes.
I have already got one dealer to reduce his price to £125 per copy. He originally wanted over £200! I didn't buy it as most collectors will not pay over the odds for this book.
In my opinion a resonable buying price would be between £50 and £70 pounds depending on quality.

Owning SMOTS is about more than the contents of a book. It is touching the hem.
