Apropos our other discussion, this is an example of how not to sell on eBay.
The seller does not know how to describe book condition at all, so the buyer is
taking a sight unseen chance. The publisher is Colliers, a reprint company, a
fact the seller probably does not know; yet, the opening bid price is $125. In
all likelihood, this auction will not establish the minimum price for the books
since no buyer who knows books will bid.
