Peter Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 I sold a copy on Ebay earlier in the year, I could'nt beleive it when I read the address I had to post it to, Spink in London.My wife bought my Peck from Spink after every weekend I went searching for a copy...she can't cook but always expect the unexpected...sometimes it is best to bite the bullet...How many Pecks will you buy?

£400 for a Penny ? Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 I sold a copy on Ebay earlier in the year, I could'nt beleive it when I read the address I had to post it to, Spink in London.What did you get for it ? Quote
Kronos Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 I sold a copy on Ebay earlier in the year, I could'nt beleive it when I read the address I had to post it to, Spink in London.What did you get for it ?£92.00. I don’t buy and sell them. It was my own copy which I had virtually never used. I'm mainly into collecting milled silver and for the copper and bronze that I do purchase, Freeman's book is quite adequate for me.The £92 went towards a vintage 1950's Hardy Altex fishing reel.

Well not unless the copper and bronze bug really gets to me. Quote

Peter Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 You will be lucky to pick up a decent copy for less than £100.It is a good reference but I don't use it all of the time. Quote

I knew mine was going to get some wear so I deliberately went for a tatty one (£40) complete with scrawl from a previous collector, so I knew I could scribble on it at will. Then sold my better copy Quote

The £65 one is the 1960 edition. And pretty ropey as well. 2nd ed. 1964 is the one everyone wants, and they rarely go cheap. Quote
