This is like almost any other copy of the Silmarillion. I see the listing includes the phrase "Status - unread"...
I'd love to know the percentage of copies of Tolkien books generally that have actually been read. It is pretty low, I think. Whenever you see a boxed set of LOTR paperbacks, only the first book usually has signs of reading. I think a lot of them are purchased as gifts.

RARE alert!
I have to admit it, I don't recall ever seeing an ordinary Billing Silmarillion for sale for $500...

I have to admit, this early bid really surprised me. £100? Really?

Every chance it is a shill bid.

It sold, so not a very good shill bid
Yeah, but that happens all the time. I've seen research that suggests roughly 10% of eBay auctions are shilled. Plus, the item can sell, then the seller just opens a no-pay dispute against with the shill account, and it hasn't cost them anything. Not saying that is the case here, but just because something sells, doesn't mean it sold to a real bidder. look how often things pop back onto the market a couple of weeks after apparently selling.
