    When I have 'extras', I sell at $100.

    I guess I am a dumbazz.......it's just a book, sold for like 19.99 when NEW!

    When I find it at Half Price Books, it's still $20.....LOL!

    Amazon congregates sellers like T.E. Warth, Albaco, and Abe Books, they find one of these and it's "retirement fund' pricing levels.

    I checked amazon.
    Listed by various sellers from $120.00-$4000.00+
    EBay says $2.00
    Funny thing about books, if too low, somebody is wary, if too high, somebody thinks its outrageous.
    You need it, buy it, you want it, buy it, you think you can sell it for more than you paid for it, buy it anyway.
    Maybe you just keep it and enjoy it.

    I should color copy mine, and sell paperback versions....:D :D :D

    Only YOU can really answer the question, but hanging out in used books stores usually nets a copy, it was not "rare" when published...not a NYT Best Seller, but certainly not rare..

    Sold mine for $60 along with a Forza 328 Buyers guide and an Anson 1/18 diecast!!! OH well at least I donated it to charity and the buyer was looking to buy a real 328GTS!

    Via IP matches and posting histories, I conclude that hawaii50 is also ferrari1, Golfmaster, and Saitacollector.

    Furthermore, the registration e-mail address of Saitacollector is too reminiscent of the eBay seller "newshawnee291y" for it to be a coincidence. In posting history, ferrari1 also admitted to being the seller. I therefore conclude that these are multiple accounts and have been deliberately used as shills to exploit the membership of FerrariChat.

    Multiple accounts are not permitted on FerrariChat for any reason, so your recently created "shill" accounts have been banned:

    For the deliberate deception and exploitation, I am also banning your first account:
    • ferrari1: permanently excluded from the forum

    Regards,
    Andrew.

    Good work Andrew,

    The whole Golfmaster thing on the 'glass top smelled fishy, then here came Hawaii50, on the book, same seller.

    Thank you Andrew
    I've never been to Scotland.
    They tell me its nice.
    Ancestors on my mothers side came from Scotland to the colonies in the early part of the 17th century.
