Older editions might actually fetch good prices. That's because newer editions aren't just new material plus minor edits and corrections. They also drop old material.
For example if you are interested in large integer arithmetic the 2nd edition of Volume 2 has some exercises that develop some methods that, if I recall correctly, I found more suited to my needs than the methods in the text when I was working on a large integer library.
The 3rd edition dropped those. I've long forgotten most of what I learned when working on my large integer library, but if I had to learn that subject again I'd probably actually start with the 2nd edition, and then check the 3rd edition to add to that.
