What it sells for
Half the Folio Society The Devil's Dictionary sales in this set closed above $17 and half below it. The middle of the range runs $13.66 to $19.99: that band is the number to price against, not the single highest sale you can find. Meanwhile 2 people are currently asking a median of $29.50 for one, $12.50 above what they have been going for. An asking price is a request, not a transaction, and it usually sits high. More on that gap.
How much condition matters here
Condition barely moved this one: the best- and worst-condition groups here are $3 apart, which is noise at this price. On a well-known model in working order, buyers appear to pay much the same whether it is boxed or used, so the median above is a fair number across the conditions in the table.
| Condition | Sales | Median |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-owned | 5 | $19.99 |
| Open box | 4 | $16.99 |
What moves the price up or down
- The spread is wide. The priciest sale here ($31) went for 4.1× the cheapest ($7.50). A gap that size is rarely the market being irrational, it is usually condition, completeness, or what came in the box.
- Where you sell it matters. These comps come from eBay. The same item moves at different prices, and different speeds, depending on the audience, and a local sale trades some of the price for not shipping it.
- Recency. These 22 sales closed between May 3, 2026 and Jul 29, 2026.
The sales behind this number
Every row is a real completed sale on a public marketplace. The links go to the original listings, which the marketplace may eventually remove.
How current is this?
We collected these comps on Aug 1, 2026 (99 days ago), and the most recent sale in the set closed on Jul 29, 2026. We do not re-fetch prices every time someone opens this page: refreshing costs real money at every marketplace, so these pages are rebuilt on a schedule rather than on demand. Treat a set older than about three months as a starting point, not an appraisal.
Pricing one yourself? Our guide to why asking prices and sold prices differ covers the part of this that the numbers above can't do for you.
Have one that isn't quite this one?
Condition, generation and what's in the box move the number more than the model name does. Photograph yours and get comps for the exact item.
