if you take a look on:
http://www.bookfinder.com
it will give you a range of prices from dealers worldwide.
don't forget, tho, that these prices, (and in the listing above) are *asking* prices NOT selling prices.
it's only worth a grand if you find a buyer...
other dealers are asking 500-750 for the NEL 1st.
depends A LOT on condition tho

oh, and the great expectations "1st" from 1874 is only a first from that version - not the original which was published in a newspaper in 1860 (and a full set of those are worth MILLIONS). first book edition was 1863.
your x's *might* be worth twenty quid :y

excellent find!! my grandmother (who just turned 101!!!!!) has a load of irish silver which keeps turning up on antiques roadshow which is (by them ) at 5000 pounds plus! all just ornaments passed down generation to generation and eventually found it's way to N.Z!
