I bought mine via bookfinder.com from a small store in Philadelphia two  
years ago. The internet rules! It's the May 1983 print, and still in  
excellent condition. The price was below $10, plus shipping to Germany  
(also below $10) :-)

The store obviously didn't know what gem they had. Maybe they figured  
that no one will want to buy a computer book from the 80ies. Currently  
there are three copies listed at Bookfinder with each one well above  
$120!

For everyone who wants to get the right book: It's titled  
"Smalltalk-80: The Language and its Implementation", a later edition  
misses the "Implementation" part  
(http://users.ipa.net/~dwighth/smalltalk/bluebook/ 
bluebook_imp_toc.html).
