MM's used to sell for over $100... years ago...
They sell for around $30 - $50 these days...

As I recal, those $100
MM 1st Prints were all in very nice condition.
At least any that I thought of bidding on were.
I agree with Bracton on his scale.
Less than great (I would use the words *less than good*) but not terrible.
That copy looks used and a bit beat up and aint worth anything near $100... but perhaps $50.
Even the seller rates the cover at only 3/4 on a 10 scale.
I do not think that at $50 it is rediculous at all, but not a great deal either.
It might be worth the listed amount of $50 for someone who does not yet have a 1st print
MM.
Trouble is with the second picture, not being what is advertised in the listing.
All in all, I think based on the first pic and the overall description that this copy is at best just a place holder book (As I would call it).
Holding a place on your shelf until you can get a nicer copy, then hope you can get your money back from selling it afterwards.
