Want An Original Philip K. Dick? It Could Cost You $6500

The first editions of Philip K.Dick's novels saw limited runs and Dick rarely attended signings. As a result, early and signed copies of Dick's books fetch top dollar on the rare book circuit. Guess which Dick novel sold for $6.5K?
AbeBooks has compiled a list of the most expensive Dick sales ever to grace the site. Note that these are only the books that sold - there are plenty of pricey books still up for grabs. You can still pick up a first edition of Dr. Bloodmoney if you have $1500 lying around.
Here's the 15 most expensive rare Dick novels AbeBooks ever sold. Note the darkly screwball autographs from Dick himself:
1.) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - $6,500
2.) Deus Irae - $4,470
3.) The Man in the High Castle - $2,000 ("To Terry - To whom I admit (which I've never admitted to anyone else) that the second umlaut is left off the word Gotterdammerung in TMITHC. With all good wishes. Philip K. Dick")
4.) A Scanner Darkly - $2000 ("Philip K. Dick / Dope will kill you")
5.) The Game-Players of Titan - $1500 READ MORE
