The following site gives prices from a number of secondhand bookshops:
http://www.addall.com/used/
An author search for Arthur Ransome got 190 titles, including:
A 1937 postcard from Arthur Ransome in Ipswich to John H. McGiveniny (?) saying the lake is partly Windemere and partly Coniston, US$ 1266
A complete bound set of First Editions, US$ 8360
Now you may think the bookshop price you saw is cheap!
