Just out of interest, I went on a quick scour of the internet to see if I could find any other copies up for sale these days. Only found two - both from Germany. One was asking US$ 4490.72, the other US$ 4439.68. I know book sellers often put silly prices up online, just hoping for a taker, but, yes - even in these days when the bottom seems to have collapsed out of the second hand book market for ordinary folk, it appears you did very, very well.
There's a fairly high chance there may be other copies out there priced more reasonably, especially when so many titles and misattributions are possible (and Morgan bible brings up a lot of books from a guy called Morgan who translated the Welsh bible), but anyone who knows their stock is not going to be letting their copies get away from them cheaply.
