I would have kept it...people buy grilled cheese sandwiches for thousands of dollars off ebay, a HP book with a spill on it would probably still get you a few grand.

Anyhow I was wondering if anyone knew where a good place to sell it would be and get as much as possible? I don't think craigslist or ebay is right for this.
I still have two, in fact I have every one of the books hardcover first edition. In 50 years...
Edit: Holy ****, nevermind.

I would start by contacting the auction house that sold the one in the article you quoted. Tell them what you have and ask their advice on how to proceed. They've already sold one or 20 grand, they should be able to give you some direction. A bit of legwork should be able to get you the contact info.
