Oddly, I felt that the prices were coming down. I sold a first edition Coot Club (rebound for a library) and only got 99p for it! Admittedly the rebinding might have put people off, but I collected most of my Cape editions 5 or 6 years ago and feel that the prices I paid then were higher than you would need to pay now. Unfortunately I missed out on first editions of SA, SD or PD (other than a US SA) and don't suppose I'll ever get them now, though I have some nice early editions.
As for the reasons for selling - in my case I just had a better Coot Club first edition (original binding, cleaner copy) and needed to make some space on the shelves!!
