I obtained a nice box set of 1970's editions for davem recently, and though neither rare nor perfect, they were what he wanted and as such, valuable in their own right.

But for cheap editions, e-bay is your place to go. Or obscure book fairs, where a first edition of The Sil was snapped up for just £2.50 the other day.
Well the originals, I would have kept regardless ( were they not still with GD ..) since they are the originals and bring back memories .... (the edition with the elvish letters in a circle and the red eye.... bought about 1980? ) ... an dI was looking on Ebay when I found the above.......
