Out of curiousity, does anyone out there have an honest-to-goodness copy of the Authorised Version? I have a reproduction, but was curious as to whether someone had the real deal.....
A REAL Authorised Version

Sure, mine was published in 1991 by AMG International Inc. ;)
Oh, you probably meant a 1611 edition.... ;)
If anyone has a 1611 edition, I'll give you $500 for it. :D ;) -
$500?
Thanks a lot: I just spit coffee all over my screen. -
Sorry. OK, $600. Maybe $650 if it has King [James'] autograph in it. :D

I do believe that the going price for an actual 1611 is probably in seven figures or more...
However, facsimiles are available... -
Doh! Now if anyone has one, they won't sell it to me for $600! Thanks a LOT for spilling the beans. :D
One sold at Sotheby's auction house a couple years back for $400,000. http://www.greatsite.com has a "She" 1611 for $130,000, and a "He" for $165,000 (they also offer a hand-written Wycliffe NT, Purvey's personal copy from 1392, for a cool $2M).
But if you *really* want a bargain, there's a "he" 1611 on ebay right now for only $98K. It's been up many times, no one ever bids on it. The seller usually has a ton of other interesting items for auction as well, very cool stuff. -
Saw an ad some time back about getting a PAGE of an AV1611 (not sure which version) and could, for a while, even choose the page.
Not sure of the cost of if it's still available. But figured someday to get one. It would be the only way I'd get a copy. Don't have 100k or whatever for the auction! -

Yeah, that is why I was asking if anyone had one. I have seen the one on ebay that is continually re-listed. That is the only one I have seen.
>>However, facsimiles are available...
Yeah, that is what I have. It was more in my price range!!!
Hey, what if we took up a collection, and purchased the one on ebay, then took turns having it in our possession? I am good for $5.00, is anyone else in with me? -
I could afford a jot and maybe even save up for a tittle. :D
-
well, if what does that make the one that's $100K at Sothebys?

We have a dollar store around the corner from our place. This is true: they have KJV Mountain in the store.
