I'm glad that someone who actually needed the book was able to get a good deal. Usually, the bargains go to the people who buy to resell. It is good to see a few collectors get some of the deals. <BR/><BR/>There are far more bargains on eBay than the average buyer realizes, and nearly all people who sell series books on eBay buy their books on eBay. I know more about what is happening than the average buyer since many of these people have bought from me under their secondary IDs. I had some auctions end a week ago, and in that group, a seller bought from me using an ID that I did not know belonged to that person. Wow! I learned of another one!<BR/><BR/>The reason why the ID gets outed is that the buying ID shares the same PayPal account as the selling ID, and the email address reveals who the buyer actually is.<BR/><BR/>I have seen many auctions for dust-jacketed books in which the top three to five bidders are all people buying to resell. If the people who actually need the books would bid a little higher, then the resellers would not win so many auctions.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10405593758228423001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157530669780468545.post-71367617864448190872008-10-04T17:38:00.000-05:002008-10-04T17:38:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for doing what you can to alert people to be vigilant and suspicious of seller descriptions when checking out ebay auctions for series books. It's always exciting to win something hard to find. I recently found the final white cover Dana Girls book, The Witch's Omen, one of the harder ones to find, for $6.53, so I was pretty excited.Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00241796091443881740noreply@blogger.com
