The version that goes for silly money is the final 2010 print edition (it went purely online after that). I think people regard it as an investment, rather than a book, and the cheapest I've seen it for is £4000 (over $6000). The version I've bought for $80 is a "very good" condition 1998 printing.
I've no idea what the 2010 edition would have cost when it was originally sold. Anyone know?
EDIT: to answer my own question, it cost £899, or $1395, so some pretty flagrant profiteering there! I think I'll stick with my $80 version

Going to pick mine up tomorrow morning, so I've spent this afternoon clearing out some shelf-space for it.
