Here is a quiz, which book are you getting if you were to buy one of the three copies available. I'm struggling from the description to have any idea at all!!!

From looking at the ISBN listed it is possible to find which book it is, but that is cheating for this quiz.

If you want to cheat, it is probably this book

Based on the ISBN only, I think you are correct (the Complete HoME Vol 2 trade edition). Other than that, a completely useless eBay listing as far as information content.

Here's an interesting ebay anecdote - I picked up a copy of TLOTR as a "buy it now" - then recieved an email from the seller telling me he had made a mistake on the price and wasn't going to honor the transaction. He refunded the money - but I'd rather have the book.

Here's one:

First edition? Good examples go for $1300? Hardly!

I got mine (brand new condition) from ebay for £20.00, and later on, got Alan Lee to sign 'em for me. Wonder how much this ... twit... would put on those.

To me, they're priceless.

I know the seller of this item very well and have a lot of respect for ADC, but would anyone really want to have this item in their house, at this price

As an aside, I thought I had to mention this one as well

A VERY RARE CHANCE TO GRAB SUCH A COLLECTABLE EDITION A TRUE COLLECTORS ITEM VERY COLLECTABLE AND A GREAT INVESTMENT

I'm struggling with this item, from the pictures the box set looks pretty good but the Dust Jackets are in appalling condition, so probably not the same set of books that came in the box set.

And another one, second edition's with accompanying dust jackets

Here is an interesting one, books wrapped in cling film (Plastic Wrap for some readers).

My view is that it provides zero protection as it is very easy to rip, but also because it bunches up, blurs the Dust Jacket.

I saw that earlier and thought about this thread

Is it just me, or is this guy asking very high prices for the items he has listed?
for example:

I completely agree, if only I was a serious buyer.
