mmm, okay...

Why would you want this when you could have this?

that is funny. Maybe someone should let him know that he would not sell this for $30, let alone $300. Most of his other books seem in line. Maybe he mis-priced it? Maybe he thinks that he found the golden grail?

ha!

Well, there is free shipping. And it'll only go up in value. Eventually.

 

[bospress.net]

he dropped it to $75, which is only 400% higher than the other copy on abe.

BUT ... it has a "softer cover"!!!!!!!!

 

[LickTheStar]

Yeah the initial price seemed a bit high to me, but I figured... surely the seller would have done some research into the correct price for the item... right? Right?

 

[bospress.net]

He relisted the book, but mentions in his listing:

THERE IS SOILING LIGHT TO BACK COVER. THERE IS LIGHT WRINKLE LINES FROM SPINE BUT ALL IS TIGHT. THIS BOOK IS SOLD AS IS. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE IS A COPY OF THIS MAG FOR SALE ON ABE FOR $17.50 I SUGGEST U GO BUY IT N ALL BUKOWSKI HE IS A GREAT POET AND HIS STUFF WILL ONLY GO UP OVER TIME.


What the fuck? Why would he waste his money by listing the book at $75 and then telling the possible bidder than they could buy it on abe for $17.50.

The guy seems odd. Maybe he just likes listing things and calling himself a "bookseller", but I can find no reason to list a damaged book at 5 times the price of a fine one and then telling people in the listing that this is the case.

Seems like he likes failure.

There's honest... and then there's TOO honest.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

he's trying to get someone to buy the $17 one on abe so it's gone. eliminate the competition, so to speak.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

And establish the market price as $17.
