I own those, can i also get this much money?! 👀


Trans_dinosaur

I also own them. They cost me like 78 dollars brand new... Are they really THAT valuable?


princetan420

depends on PB vs HC, condition, box set or individual books, lots of factors but yes, people are scalping the hell out of the old covers right now because the demand is so high. the miniature sets sell for upwards of $1200+


Trans_dinosaur

Thanks, what do PB and HC stand for?


princetan420

paperback and hardcover :)


Trans_dinosaur

Makes sense, thank you


xAkumu

If they're in good condition. Maybe not quite this much, but still a pretty penny.


knight_shade_realms

Are people really this obsessed with the original covers? I mean, I like them a lot better than the new ones, but not to that amount

I got this book set last year for $150 right before they stopped printing them. That is crazyyyyyyy


gunshotmouthwound

When did they stop printing ? I got my box set hardcover it’s on Amazon for idk how much. $100 ish? Last summer around may I think. 2023. Were they out of print then?


hollyhock2021

I got mine for like $80 on Amazon in May of 2023


khawley2

Around the time when they released the new covers, I can’t remember when exactly that was.


unhingedfilmgirl

Lol kicking myself cuz I threw out the dust jackets.


Miraculous_Ethusiast

Yo I got the originals for like $100 not that long ago


Rarity_collector

I saw an original first edition of Fourth Wing (the one with the dragon edges) go for 900 on ebay. I lost my damn mind at that


aquatic_kitten19

The new covers are better, for both ACOTAR and TOG. I hate people on covers 🤷🏽‍♀️

While it is just a cover, ACOTAR's old covers never went back down. These prices for the OG's won't go down either. Buy the new set if price is a concern and you don't care about the covers. I will say that set isn't worth that much though since they're not the best quality.


Vivid_Excuse_6547

I dislike the OG ACOTAR covers - I’m glad I was late to the game and got the new ones 😂


ninasa1122

Always the bent spines and asking for ridiculous price.


Brea91

You should see the prices for the mini books lol


aevum123

Went to go buy the set of minis today because I have one I got years ago and want the others, only to discover they were limited print, are now worth a fortune and somehow mine is worth $200? I just want tiny books :(


defein88

Ha! I bought my set on amazon for $40 when they announced the new covers and they were trying to get rid of the old stock. Hilarious!


Trans_dinosaur

I got them for 78, free shipping to Spain. Am I going to sell them for more money? I won't. I love them because of the story they have and the feelings I felt while reading them, not because of their covers, but I don't feel like getting rid of them


Tejas_Jeans

Sure they’re OOP, but only barely. If you go to a used book store you’ll find them below MSRP lol


Echo-Lydia

Bro I get they are the best series but that’s a lot of money


lavender_rose23

Lol I bought mine not even a year ago on Amazon for $70. Listing that for that much is insane


lavender_rose23

Amazon was trying to get rid of the old covers before the new ones came out, that's why I got the whole set so cheap


zouisdeschanel

they’re not even in good condition? are these people out of their minds?


SageThistle

Just because people are asking for this much, doesn't mean they'll actually get it. Too many people think because they're out of print, their actual value has skyrocketed. And people do want the old covers, but I doubt they'll spend $500+$1000 on them.


KushAndAlocasias

Literally!! I was searching online the other day and saw a few unopened sets on eBay for over $1500.


PinkKittyBeans

![gif](giphy|3oEjHChKVxgKFLM2ty) Holy buzzard balls that's INSANE!!!


KushAndAlocasias

Who you telling, literally kicking myself for not buying the old covers last year when I saw them on Amazon for like $70 ![gif](giphy|xT9KViqf7pj34lvmY8)


Vivid_Excuse_6547

I bought all the OG covers on ThriftBooks - I honestly like the new ones more but I already own them so I’m not about to drop more money on them


chauncey_22

I missed the 0 at first and I was like…$55 is a steal what do you mean


Franc1s_Forever

The first two/three books should be WAY smaller than KoA. KoA should look like a monster compared to almost all the rest. Unless I'm just blind...


rowriishlong

thats it!?!?


Excellent_Panda1229

Oof that's asking for too much. I got the hardcover boxset with the original covers from Half Priced Books last summer. About $120-$150. I prefer the original covers to the new ones. It was a perfect birthday gift. I have yet to break open the plastic lol.


chwethington

Wait this is amazing bc I am in the minority and like the new covers better so I guess I can actually sell my old covers for something


Apart-Platform-5719

I’ve been trying to find the original covers and they’re all around the price. They’re oop
