Depending on the condition and if it has a intact dust jacket, a TRUE first edition that states 'May 1936' and NO other dates can be worth up to $2,000 or more. A June 1936 can go for $25 up to $500 for a mint condition book in original non-price clipped dust jacket. Other editions are worth very little.
Whether it is a first edition as opposed to later printings. If it is a rare edition, typically first, but later editions can become more rare. Author signed editions tend to be more valuable than unsigned. Condition is critical. The inclusion of the original dust jacket is a booster too.
A "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone," first edition, American edition, without the dust jacket is worth between $5.00 and $20.00 in the United States.

Ive seen this book priced between 15,000 and 50,000 dollars U.S. Although when dealing with anything collectable, I think its safe to say, that its only worth what someone is willing to give you for it.
The first edition stated "First Printing" on the copyright page and had the code 10/57 on the front flap of the dust jacket. The value is generally between $1000 and $3500 but lesser copies be found for much cheaper.

To identify a first edition Hardy Boys book, look for the original 1927-1979 cover art, "First Edition" stated on the copyright page, lists books up to that edition number, a complete set of glossy illustrations, and the publisher's name along the spine.
