Re: $1,000,000 book on ebay
The seller called me all excited because he thought he had something valuable. It's just an old copy of the first edition of the Project Magic workbook. When I told him he'd be lucky to get $25 for it, he didn't believe me.
And now it's on eBay for a million dollars.
Really, you just have to shake your head!

Somebody needs to go peform some Project Magic Tricks for him. He is sick in the head. Better start with the jumping rubber band trick. I doubt he can handle anything more. Tisk Tisk.

Looks like the auction is gone this morning. Must have taken his medicine.

Yeh, and he did not accept my offer of $10.00, too bad!!
The guy definitely needs psychiatric help!

I was working for Copperfield when that came out. I have that exact one. It's not that rare. (While I'd hate to part with it, the first $500,000 gets it!)

I think anything over $200.00 is only $2.00.

Relisted again:

It sounds like he found it in a used book store and is looking to make a huge profit.

He actually needs to make a profit so he can afford "Shock Treatment"

Re: $1,000,000 book on ebay
I have it in spanish version .... sometimes foreign editions are more valued becouse lower printing than originals.
Mmmm how much could I ask for it?
And seller boasts "more than 100 watcher and 4 offers (higher 49USD)"

Re: $1,000,000 book on ebay
Think of the publicity he has gotten by listing it at $1,000,000! I wouldn't have looked at it once at $25, but I've looked at it 3x at a cool million! :)

After 16 revisions in the last two days, his latest description just says: "It is what it is".......I'd say that sums it up.

I would not say he was nuts, merely that he had high expectations that were not going to be met.
