MYSTERY OF THE WAX QUEEN by CAROLYN KEENE (1972) HB Item #290236963944
This Dana Girls book closed at $22.72, which is way too high. Since the copyright is 1972, it is one of the white spine picture covers. All of the white spine Dana Girls books are worth less than $10.00 each except for #15, 16, and 17. Wax Queen is #4, one of the easiest to find titles.

Nancy Drew Applewood Clue in the Jewel Box 1st edition Item #350070101800
#20 sold for $71.99. The whole point of the Applewood editions was for there to be a way to get the original text, original cover art, and original illustrations at a reasonable price. Why are the Applewood editions now worth more to some people than the old books? Once again, there are copies of this title in eBay stores for less than $15.00. Are people using their economic stimulus payments on Applewood editions? Why pay so much?

Have you noticed that there are several bidders now for these items who have odd ebay IDs? like 2***2 or the already notorious g***m. I wonder if these are all the same person using different IDs now that people are taking notice?
I'm going to make a point sometime later today of figuring out (or at least trying to figure out) the full ID of 2**2. I have noticed that this person is bidding rather high on some of these books. It is all rather strange.
