If you have a couple of dollars to spare

From the Adam Smith's Lost Legacy blog comes news about the price paid for a first edition of Adam Smith's second book, "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nation" at a recent auction in Edinburgh:

A rare first edition of Adam Smith’s Wealth Of Nations was bought at auction in Edinburgh by an undisclosed telephone bidder for £46,000 winning bid price, plus the separate sales commission, altogether coming to £55,000.

£46,000 is around NZ$92,000 and £55,000 is roughly NZ$109,000. So if you have a couple of dollars to spare may be you could put in a bit next time a copy comes up for auction.
