How much would you spend on first edition?

No, I wouldn't! I wouldn't spend any money at all on a first edition. For me, the pleasure of a book is reading it, not in owning a "collector's edition". I can read whatever the latest edition is just as well if not better than a first edition and I don't need to worry about the house insurance or damaging a national treasure....

It's not something I'd want to spend money on. I just read books, I don't collect them.

I like old books, and would love a first edition, but only of a classic book I really loved. I wouldn't be willing to spend th kind of money needed for it though.

I'd be too terrified to touch a first edition, and could never bring myself to read it. Think I accidentally ended up inheriting a 1st edition of a book from the 70s from my mum though, and it's been weirding me out.
