Such a smart idea... I don't know why I didn't think of that ages ago. Thanks for the inspiration!

..adding some more sellers to my exclusion list. Does this mean I'll never have to see that 'first 10 impressions of The Hobbit' listing again!? My life won't be the same without it!

Trust me, it is a wonderful thing. Lee1976Lee (or whatever his handle is) got banished as well. I only have to get annoyed when these guys' auctions get posted up here now.

I'm not sure I'd classify this as "good". Laminated (not mentioned in listing) AND knackered.

The book is very poorly listed at £7,999.99, would love to get that for my copy :)

Basically this seems to apply to any (almost) any mustycats auction of relatively recent books.

Why would anyone pay such inftated amounts?

I remember my local bookshop in Australia having a LOT of copies of the above. And that was in Aus. They certainly aren't rare.

That price is completely ridiculous... but I've been looking for those 2005 1sts at a reasonable price (with RC in slipcase) for quite a while with no luck.

All the chancers are coming out, front-running copies from Waterstones. Why pay £20 to waterstones when you could pay £60 for someone else to order it from waterstones...?

Well it is out of stock online, so it seems the scalpers have bought the stock to flip. Or maybe its a temporary shortage.

Amazing how many signed standard copies of CoH are appearing on eBay recently.

Stuff like this is ridiculous though:
