Oh, and this.

I think it's the picture of the spine bent back on itself that makes me want to pay £100.

Someone can't spell out 'Tolkien' - even in books!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Lord-of-t ... Books&hash=item3cce18459b

Are you kidding me?

Not the book, but a single page from a book owned by Tolkien.

Who would ever buy a single page?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JRR-Tolkien-P ... tible&hash=item23273e770b

Is the seller planning to tear the page out of the rest of the book?

Maybe he's going to sell the whole book - one page at a time.

More bargains £179.99

Initially described as "TOLKIEN: SILMARILLION & HOBBIT - 1/1 LEATHER DELUXE EDITIONS- LORD OF THE RINGS", later on mentions the word Faux.

£17.99 for both would be more like it

This one is unusual, I was looking at the pictures and the white box at the bottom looked strange, price-clipped means removing the price, are there words for deleting bar-codes?

This could be a printing error and the bar-code was not applied

And an opportunity for all the Betamax (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betamax) users.

The Lord of the Rings on Betamax, the seller does not have a Betamax player (I think he might find 99.999999% of the population are in the same boat), but if you do then I'm sure you will want to snap this one up.
