I particularly love the time progression:

16.00 200 copies went on sale
16.04 175 copies left
16.05 98 copies
16.07 18 copies left
16.08 Out of Stock

and at £275 a pop!

Hi,
Sorry slight misunderstanding from my post.

I've paid £275 in total so far because I brought one in a Charity Auction on 1st December (a regular edition copy due out at the end of January) for £200.

The Limited Edition one that Black Industries sold on their website (which they only printed 200 copies of) was £65 plus £10 shipping = £75 total.

It also sounds like the countdown started at 170 copies (meaning Black Industries kept back 30 copies for themselves - presumably for authors/artists/staff/competition prizes).

Still, sold out incredibly quickly.

Ah! Thanks for the clarifications!
