Well that was a nice surprise!

Whilst browsing Amazon I found out that a book I bought new with my Z4M in 2007 is now worth loads more than I paid for it. Good read too! Misses out the M though.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this is a regular thing on Amazon and other sites that when an item is low in stock or out of stock they raise the price instead of cancelling and having to reinstate the item later when stocks have been replenished. So when they have it back in stock they will lower the price back down to £7.99-£13.99 Read parts of the first book linked at my mates, still an interesting read.
All the best

I how no idea what’s it’s worth, all I know is my copy is signed by the author

haha, well, good thing I'm not relying on that investment to feather my nest! Not that I would sell the book or my Z4M anyway!

They couldn't stop him.. Try finding one he didn't sign, now that'll be worth something

Found two other copies for sale after a quick search

One at £130 and one at £200

So maybe it is the going rate

Wouldn’t mind a copy myself

If that’s the case I’m VERY surprised but am happy to say I was wrong.
Though I’d like to meet a person that has actually paid that for that book that wasn’t permanently living in an Asylum!
