I am going to start putting interesting eBay auctions I run across (separate from the head scratching thread The Wonders of eBay ) that I think are interesting or worth a look. Feel free to add your own, or add commentary on anything posted here. I am not the seller or affiliated with any of these sellers, by default.

Sold! 
Pretty sure Laurel sold another copy a couple of years ago for a similar amount. Seems to be what they go for (although the copy just sold certainly wasn't a great example).

Nope. If I'd wanted it, I'd have bought it at the last auction for less than half the price. It is an interesting item, but fundamentally, I just don't see it as being a $36,000 interesting item. After all, it is a printed proof, not manuscript pages. I expect someone will buy it, though, for the simple reason that a lot of people have much money and nowhere sensible to put it at the moment.

Always thought these look like 1970s furniture, but low start, so might end up a good buy for someone in the market for such

Not sure what they mean by recased, as it also talks about the boards not being in great condition.
Yes, I saw that. Had me baffled as well. Unfortunately as the only picture is not actually of the book, but of the worthless jacket (which would still be monetarily worthless even if it was the right one and trimmed correctly), it is hard to tell!
