Visited Powell's Books in Portland last weekend and found something wild in the rare book room

I was browsing the science fiction section at Powell's Books in Portland last Saturday and stumbled on a first edition of Dune that was signed by Frank Herbert. I almost dropped my coffee when I saw the price tag - they were asking $4,500 for it. Has anyone else found a hidden gem in a used bookstore that completely caught them off guard?

$4,500? That’s a whole month of rent right there.

Huh, that sounds like a lot but is it really that big of a deal?
