Interesting and instructive stories both. Years ago I occasionally collected signed books, but I eventually stopped when I realized that they weren't any more valuable to me than the others. It's the story itself that matters, though I am swayed by physically attractive books more than by cruddy-looking books. This is also why I rarely buy special editions (aside from cost) unless I've got extra money or there's a substantial amount of actual new content.
Anyway, I'da done just like you did in scenario one, all the while thinking WTFBBQROFL-who-do-you-think-you-are-statistically-speaking-probably-nobody-will-be-reading-you-in-a-hundred-years-anyway. (Or something like that. :)
