I bought a lot of Collected books a year ago. Some have jumped in "value" already.

I own 2 copies of Vol. 1 First Printings. Paid $45 a pop for both (once on Milehighcomics - they don't carry it currently) and another time on Ebay ( got lucky the seller didn't know exactly how to title the Ebay sale, it sat in never never land 'till I found it).

I believe the First Printings are worth at least $100 each at this point. They are pretty rare. The collected Tales Vol. 1 , I won for $20 on ebay.

I have a second printing of Vol 1., when April w/ afro is climbing up the sewer, and I won that for only $10 a year ago, but now it's going for $40-50.
(I would'nt pay that much personally for the 2nd printing.)

You can find most of the other Volumes, 2,3,4,5 on http://www.ninjaturtles.com/order/catgn.htm , in Mint condition for a lot less than you get on ebay (unless you get lucky, once I found a person selling all 6 (2,3,4,5,6,7) at a combined $25 buy it now, that was a quick sale

If you are looking for the Collected Books Ebay is really the best place. Just stay active and eventually you will steal a bid, or find someone selling them that doesn't know what they are actually selling.

What I really want to find someday at a flea market or an old book store is the Hardcover Vol. 1 #1, only a 1,000 copies of that in the world. Never seen it with my naked eyes.
