Is it too late to sell my original edition for a bazillion dollars?

Was just wondering that too. That book was my retirement plan!

this didn't actually get released and is now no longer on the Verso website and is "currently unavailable" (the new version, that is) rather than pre-order on Amazon. I tweeted Verso to ask what happened but got no reply.

was going to reread when the reissue came out, but I guess I’ll either read one of the pdfs or pull my (apparently increasingly valuable again) copy off the shelf. amazon usa officially cancelled preorders of the digital version, too

Where is the best place to sell a copy of this book? Best meaning most money for least effort.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 27 June 2022 22:43 (one year ago) link
I guess it depends on how you feel about Amazon?
(There's actually a copy being advertised at £197.50).

abe has copies ("new") at £500+ and "good" at c.£400
