Recently purchased a copy of this from Ebay in a great condition and for what I think is a bargain. I kind of like it

Any idea of it's worth?

Ebay sales are about the best way to judge current monetary value of an item so unless there were circumstances that let you get it at a cheap price then what you paid for it is probably what it is worth.

Did you win it at auction or pick it up as a buy it now?

I won it as an auction, no other bidders and the price was, including postage, 5 pounds sterling.

With auctions there are a few factors that can lower the final bid, such as whether the seller will ship internationally. If it was only listed on ebay.uk that might be another.

That sounds pretty low considering the price that pathfinder material is commanding recently.

Your 5 pounds seems about right.

Do the 2 minute research to see where the going rate is:

1) check Ebay auctions, current and completed

2) check some online sellers

Ebay BIN going unsold for $18 and a current auction in the $5 range (with 7 hours to go):

** expired eBay auction **

Noble Knight has NM copies available for $12 and not NM for $10.

Seems fairly easy to find a copy right now so probably fairly mass produced but maybe a nice future collectible that you can find at a good price now.

Just curious what prices you are looking at? Since most of it is still in print and Paizo has some really good sales, it seems like most sold items end up at less than 50% of cover price. The exception being a couple of items that are no longer in print.

This one is likely to get more valuable with time.

Agreed.

But it's common enough, that you should be able to get it for an inexpensive price.
