I don't believe that this is worth anything more than what someone is willing to pay based on the cover price. There were so many made that currently it's not a collectible and thus worth anything beyond an ordinary book. Hold on to it though because in 50+ years it may have some collectible value, and it's a great read or a nice present to give to a grandchild.

Hmmm...the collector group here seems to think grabbing up any 1st edition HP is a good thing. http://www.instappraisal.com/content/collecting-harry-potter-memorabilia so, guess I didn't do too bad for my buck(: Think a $10 minimum opening bid on Ebay would probably be okay & see where it goes. Thanks for your imput, Charley.

Hah...think I've lost my mind, but I just bought a hardback ISBN: 0 439 78454 0 HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE, today...a 1ST AMERICAN EDITION. I paid $4 for this one. Whew...I have a bad collecting habit. It is in good shape, not quite as nice as the Goblet. Maybe, I'll find all 7?
