On a recent episode of Pawn Stars UK, a guy brought in 10 first editions of The Hobbit, one of each of the first 10 pressings.

They all had relatively intact covers and looked to be in good condition. The guy was asking £55,000, or about $90,000.
The expert they took them to estimated the first printing was worth £30,000, but the whole set was only 40K. Seems a bit low to me, but it would be difficult to find a buyer for the complete set.
