.Dan. Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Allo fellas. Just thought I'd pop by, see how everything's going. Quote
antiaircraft Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Hello to you too. It's sad - there are people running around my school and spoiling Harry Potter 7 for everybody. I think I'll bring earplugs tomorrow. Quote
Dillon Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Im sorry that stinks. Im outta school so I dont have to worry about that. Quote
Mini-Chan Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Aww that sucks. I'm on summer break right now so no spoilers! Quote
Dillon Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 YAY! I hate spoilers. that why these were made. Spoilers were made. YAY! WOOT! WOOT! Quote
.Dan. Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Ah, I don't see why everyone complained about "blah blah blah's gonna die". Quote
Anime Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 The main thing is, they want to read the book and find out for themselves. There's been nothing about it popping up so far here, but I can and will put and spoilers in spoiler tags if they do crop up. Quote
Myriad Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I won a copy of Harry Potter 7. But I don't read the books, so I don't know what i'll do with it. Quote
The Original Luna Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Sell it on Ebay- I agree but get it signed first! (the signed ones sell like hot-cakes) Quote
Stephi Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 mmm hot cakes Or you could give it away to a very deserving person that reads the books (oo ooo PICK ME!) Quote
Mini-Chan Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Haha. My sister reserved the Harry Potter book, so I get to read it from her. :] Quote
Awesome_Paul Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 But getting it signed would be impossible. J.K.Rowling lives in the UK Myriad lives in austrailia. So to have it signed would either have to -J.K go to austrailia for book signings -Myriad go to the UK for one of her book signings But my advice if you're planning to get it signed. Buy the whole series, have J.K sign all 7 books. and keep them all inact for 20 years. then they would be worth ALOT (when i say intact, i mean like no scratches, no marks etc) Quote
Mini-Chan Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Wow, what a plan. Keeping the books intact would probably be the hardest part. X3 Quote
The Original Luna Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 and make sure there are no food stains- the auctioneers look out for those. Quote
Stephi Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 The only problem with keeping them as collectables (the whole signed set in great condition and not opened) is that millions of people have already thought of it. So, even 20 years down the road with signed copies it's not going to be that valuable. Things like limited editions aren't even that valuble. Whenever anything is made with more than 1000 copies you can bet there's enough people out there collecting them and keeping them in perfect condition that it's not even worthy your time and effort. It's the old things that there's 5 of in the world that'll get you moneys. I say that since you won it, it's a sign, and you need to start reading the HP books. Quote
Awesome_Paul Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 But Stephi, all these people who buy them. There are millions, but what are the odds that loads are going to be intact. Some people have many different ways to keep track, they fold the corner of a page, some may just be messy readers and make stains. Or some, may just not take care of it, and chuck it around. or some school kids would leave it in their bag on their way to school. But only a few will keep them intact for years to come. Quote
Anime Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 And to go with that, some people read them so many times the books simply fall apart. Quote
Ellie_Penguin Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Remember you can always buy two collections and one you use it for reading and the other one for safe keeping. It's not worthy, trust me. The signed collections will only START to become valuable when J.K. dies. After that, they have to do research to find out how many have intact collections and how much they would be worth. That could take place about 50 years after J.K. dies. Look at books of Tolkien, they were written a long time ago and you can buy them now for like $1 at any garage sale. Quote
Xepha Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Speaking of collection... All the books from the Serie I have are like in different format and such. (not to mention that I have book 5 and 7 in English in addition of French. I lent my english copy of number 6 and it never came back to me! Last time I lend a book in my LIFE! They are too worthable to me!) French : I have the 3 first edited by folio junior, 4-5-6 by Gallimard (I guess number 7 will be by this editor too). My collection would sell for nothing. But it is priceless for me like I said, sorta XD Quote
Dillon Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 No more harry potter talk here. It an temporary rule. Quote
Ellie_Penguin Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I think they meant any talk about the final book and its contents. We were just talking about the value of the books in a few years. Quote
Xepha Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Yep... no talk about the latest book, so no spoilers. But talking about collection isn't banned XD But anyway... the board seems rather quiet lately... seems like I'm not missing much. 3 weeks of work left, including this week! Woot! Quote
