This auction was for a complete set of the matte yellow Nancy Drew picture cover books. This is the seller's picture:
Here we go:
Question: Hi, none of the books are the "Flashlight" hardback editions, correct ? What do the yellow banners on some of the books say? Can't see it clearly from the images. Thank you in advance.It is clear from the picture that the books are not flashlight editions. This buyer apparently does not know what the flashlight editions look like. I do not understand since I would think that if someone knows that they do not want the flashlight editions that they would also know what the flashlight editions look like.
Answer: Hi None are flashlight editions all are the older set The yellow at the top of a few Have the number out of the set and the title The blue tweed has a copyright from 1936 and the rest are copyrights in the 1960's and 1970's Thanks Henry
Also, the buyer asks for what is on the yellow banners that are on some of the books. Since the books are not flashlight editions, there is certainly not going to be a flashlight on those banners. The banners have no significance except for indicating that the books with the banners are definitely from the 1970s or early 1980s rather than from the 1960s.

LOT of 20 Vintage NANCY DREW MYSTERY books GREAT Shape Item #290276337389
The same person must be asking everyone whether they are selling flashlight editions.
Question: None of these books are the "Flashlight" hardcovers, correct? And there are no missing pages on any of them? Thanks in advance!Why does the buyer not know what the flashlight editions look like? The above lot had a clear picture of matte picture cover editions. Could the buyer perhaps be trying to discover whether the books have double oval endpapers? I don't know.
Answer: Hi. I am not sure what you mean by "Flashlight", but they are not the shiny hard covers. They are older with pictures drawn on both the front and the back inside covers. There are no missing pages on any of the books, my daughter just read them all, plus she read my other two lots that I have on auction and the pages are in GREAT condition! Thanks for looking! ~Amy :)
The above listing is noteworthy because it sold for $315.50 for only 20 books. Normally a complete set of matte books sells for around $300.00.

On this auction, it says 51 bids, but that was just 3 bidders (!) One of those only bid one time and another has feedback of 7 even though there's no icon indicating that this is a new member.
I've become very suspicious of walking-up-the-price types of bids but in this case, it was both of the potential buyers, so I don't know what to make of it - maybe it's really a newbie who got carried away with the excitement of bidding - or maybe it's an attempt to inflate the apparent value of these books (?)
