Centipede will be releasing.....

Yeah, those prices are nuts! I love Dune and love Centipede, but even I am tempted to sell at these prices.

It would really help with my most recent purchase, but I'd feel horrible doing so, so I'm going to keep it. Hopefully it doesn't reach $5k because then the temptation may be too much...

Half tempted to sell my signed/numbered DUNE and pick up one of my two Holy Grails, each of which hover around $2500…which means they’re forever out-of-reach otherwise. I probably won’t, but I can’t say I haven’t thought about it, at $3K+ and especially since SF really isn’t my thing. I bought this primarily because I’ve always wanted to read DUNE and what better opportunity to experience it than in this grand edition, and, two, I love Centipede. But otherwise I have no intrinsic connection to the work itself, like so many seem to. Once the value of this thing broke $2K (and is now bumping up against $4K), it gives one pause, when those other Holy Grails are suddenly just a decision away…

Bad Moon offering signed copies of DUNE for $3800. The prices for DUNE are insane, even for Centipede Press books.

Agreed that it’ll come down either when more copies come floating out into the market or when the second book is released. Still crazy if it settles at $2k. I just don’t know how people afford those prices. I’ve bought some expensive books before but never broke the thousand mark, let alone three.

So I guess $3k is the current going rate for DUNE. I’ve seen three sales on eBay go for $3k or higher. Insane. I’m sure this will calm down after all the books get out into the wild, but still…

I'm fairly certain the price will settle to around the $2k mark. It's FOMO pushing folks to pay >$3k right now - you can see that across the book collecting world. If you've purchased a book and are on the fence about it and it's at all popular, the absolute best time (right now) to sell your copy is BEFORE it's released.
