Why do people say these things?
eBay Item #262069651192

I am selling off this complete collection of Tolkien Limited Editions. I have never seen this offered as a set before.
No, you wouldn't have. Nobody would have seen these seven books sold as a set before... as nobody would take six matching HC deluxe editions & tag a US CoH with them. Why would any prospective buyer want this edition included?

I paid around $700 for each book.
Oh dear...

Another one from "Festival in the Shire"...

Quote: "This is one of the first and only copies we've seen. Truly rare"

Er, what? This is just actively trying to rip people off, IMHO.

Ridiculous money for a commonly available set actually that isn't in particularly good condition (look at that edge wear). I think I paid $10 or so for a similar set that was completely unread and pretty much pristine. I've seen plenty of them for sale, including the odd shrink-wrapped set for sub-$20.

Madness.

I usually find dogfark's listings mildly irritating, but that really is borderline dishonest. I have to say, it's genuinely quite disappointing to see this kind of thing.

Here's something odd...
eBay Item #181890468346

A "custom" slipcase for The Silmarillion and BoLTs... that doesn't fit, being too tall. Strange.

I wonder if there is any edition that fits. I also wonder if one would want to use the slipcase, even if there was such an edition.

Do you think they'll throw in a slipcase?
