TDPL has certainly sold more than 1830 copies by now (= the collector's edition count) but booksellers have no obligation to send older prints first, so it all depends on which batch they have handy when shipping. Also I'm sure some smaller booksellers have gotten a batch from the collector's edition that hasn't been sold yet.
