Oh, definitely - I've been known myself to spend quite a bit of money for a first edition (eg, paid about $75 for a signed 1st of The English Patient, and don't regret it for a minute). And I know that first Tolkiens and so on are very very pricey. This just seemed a little over-the-top to me, that's all.
