I've got got this book. It's not bad, but not worth $127. Or even $27.....

Looks like a little oneupmanship between Pam and Alecaudra. I'd wager the winner doesn't pay. The seller must be shaking his head too... and worried the auction will come to a bad end.

They're on close out over here. It's from a Brit publisher. There's tons of the softcovers in stores, both the electric and acoustic version for around $14.

$28 for both sounds like a good deal.

Not the first time bidders have lost their minds... probably not the last, either. Wonder what Pam and Alecaudra's feedback ratings are?

alecaudra's is 203 @ 100% But he/she has "overbid" on other items.....

So I guess paying way-to-much is nothing new to these two!

WOW!!!!!! I just got the softcover version on closeout at Waldenbooks last week for $9.99.....

Trboy has made an interesting observation. Hmmmm....could the word "shill" be in play here?????

I read that wrong...for a second there, I thought you said, "I just got the softcore version..."

Old Applause Owner, I have considered that one of the two may be a shill bidder. That would still leave the other as foolish. Other sky-high wins might also point that way, as a shill bidder would win by mistake on occasion (hey, no prob getting good feedback)
