sotherbys bargain

viggosbeard · 06-30-2003, 04:39 AM

The sunday express finance section revealed that Sotherbys in London is about to auction a very rare copy of the Hobbit with an original dust jacket and letter from the prof himself - it is estimated to go for between £40000 and £60000 - time to raid the piggy bank !

I sure would like that!

I sure won't get it!

I wonder who will purchase? I'd like to stick my nose in that old book, and take a deep Hobbity "whiff"!

*starts planning* I have eight bucks and ten cents, minus the eight bucks I owe, minus 5 cents for the construction of a raft to sail the ocean, plus one carnival ticket in my back pocket I could scalp, hmmmm....so I have better odds of getting it than I thought
