Yes - I know some e-Bay auctions are crazy but you know we have e-Bay rules so our board doesn't get in trouble with angry sellers. Please PM each other for the link. Thanks!

*chokes* you kidding me! right? [img]eek.gif[/img]
I bet they made an error when entering the price! Maybe they meant $1.19? - Meg B.
OMG I almost died... fell off my chair at work .. talk about sky rocketing ebay prices huh?? LM*O
OMG! that is- that is- omg!
NO its not an error there is another listed for 78.00 that one I think its used so they lowered the price.. "gags" is this guy serious or what!!
No, it's not a mistake. This is, it seems, the hardest of the short stories to find.
There are 9 copies of it on the [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1584852755/sr=8-1/qid=1140117016/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-3402851-7675264?%5Fencoding=UTF8"]Amazon Marketplace[/ame] for $35- $78.50.
I was lucky enough to find mine at Bookman's (our state-wide used bookstore chain) for $3 the weekend after I bought them all online for the sale price at AG.
That is AMAZING!! That is hard to believe! And I thought the Scenes and Settings books were pricey! LOL. I actually bought this book on an eBay BIN for $.01 plus $2.xx shipping. I think we would be willing to part with it if we could actually sell it for THAT PRICE!! LOL.
>>>running to look at the basket full of short stories my grandaus have collected!!!!>>>>>>>>>>
Oh my gosh...are you saying that is the real price? That's incredible.
This is weird...I just bought a book from this same seller from Amazon Z-Shops yesterday. (but the one I bought only cost $2.26!)

That's utter insanity. I have a copy of the book cheap that I got at HPB (Half Price Books) and it's got a ribbon in it.
Any book that costs that much had better tap dance across a table singing Hello Dolly or something.

Ill take one that doesnt sing hello dolly [img]wink.gif[/img] but not over 10.00
I just yelled upstairs to see if my dd has it. Yes, we do and it is the hallmark one with a book ribbon. I am so glad I don't have to chase that one down. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Can someone PM me with a link or auction #? Thanks!
I got mine at a g-sale for $.25!
TO PRICEY FOR ME! I DON'T THINK THAT BOOK- OR ANY AG BOOK IS WORTH THAT MUCH!
They just had that one at the outlet last month. Guess I should have bought the lot of them. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Hi, everyone . . . could you post the title of the short story book, since the auction has been removed?
It was Samantha and the Missing Pearls
The book is Samanthan and the Missing Pearls.
Funny how we could talk about it for so long and have no one mention the name of it! I think my first post, where I linked to the Amazon copies, was the ONLY refference outside of the deleted ebay auction.
As an AG collector, and a book collector, I can understand how someone (not me, but someone), might be willing to pay that much for a copy (maybe not $100+, but perhaps the $35, on Amazon). It would bother me to NO end to have EVERY short story except this one, as I find the books to be a super important part of the AG collection.
Edit: Susannah beat me to the title [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for posting the title. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Oh, hooray! I have that one!!! Anyone want to buy it? It's a steal at $99.95! [img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Maybe you can still go back! It would be really cheap to ship that little book out, too.Quote:

I bought mine for $2.00 on Ebay about two months ago. That's ridiculous!
I wonder if it will sell. Did anyone put it on a watch list?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm watching it- it still has about 18 days to go.Quote:
