LOL I saw the average selling price for it was 1.00, well I had to get more than that. Thats why I put the reserve on it.

Anyways I doubt anybody else will bid on it so it's probably yours.

why would you waste your time trying to sell a book on ebay???

Unless you have an ebay business and sell in volume, why would anyone sell cheap stuff like that on ebay? The time making the add, ebay's cut and the time to pack and ship the dumb book make it pretty useless IMHO.

I used to sell on ebay as my main income for about a year.

Not saying you wont sell it....just saying..........hmmmm.

I actually was planning on buying it....Just forgot...Ebay is usually where I go anyways
1.00 is usually only the starting bid, most auctions dont get real bids until the last day.

I bought and sold things on ebay for a long time now.

Saving up what I made and putting back in what I had to spend. Before long I had quite a bit of money saved up. Wont say how much but it was enough.
To make a long story short. I took my girlfriend to Cancun for a week and a half basicly for free. All it took was a little time here and there to write up an ad, package the items, and shipping them out I used my families company.

I still sell on ebay and buy also. Its more of a hobby than anything else. I just like to see, and have fun seeing, how much some people will pay for another persons junk.

$20 and I'll cover shipping...or tell me what it's worth.

Lol, mine is covered in autographs from the Con I went to.  Of course, it was also covered in water I spilled on it before that, so I doubt it is worth much :).  

I'm keeping it, in any case.

eBay is great! I buy/sell DVDs on there all the time. It works out cheaper than paying £3.50 for a one night rental. I keep the movie as long as I like, share it with friends, and then sell it again. Usually I get about the same as what I paid. Once I even made a £2.50 profit on a DVD movie. :cool:

Needed an ADSL modem for my mother's new laptop. Saw one I liked - retail £99. Got the same item on eBay  - £7. Works perfectly.  :aok

It's amazing what will sell on eBay.

I'm selling my own copy of Shaw's fighter combat book.

Pretty optimistic Buy it Now price, but why not? If people don't want to BIN they can go through the normal auction channels.
