Codex Question

(delurking)
I see there is a copy of the Codex up for bid on ebay, starting price
$1,995.00. Is this the going rate for the Codex? I know it's a
limited edition book, but this price seems rather extraordinary to me.
I do have my own copy, and from time to time have considered selling
it, but never thought it would fetch a price anywhere near the ebay
figure. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

I think one went for $2500 or something like that. I don't know if the last
few sold at high prices though.

The one on ebay now is a bit odd - why would someone buy it but never take
the plastic off it? It seems like a book for fans, not for collectors, and
every fan I know had the plastic off the book before they got it into the
house.
