[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 168909, member: 2806"] Also on the subject of Amazon, if you click on 'More Buying Choices' for my Gold Star book you'll see that in addition to the choice of paying $74.99 for a new copy from Amazon, you have the choice of paying over $110 for used copies of the identical book, one of which is only in "acceptable" condition. At times I've seen my Gold Star book listed by sellers for over $500 on the Amazon site even though it's always been in print and available new from Amazon itself. Clearly, there's a scam involved with these offers at greatly inflated prices, but I don't know what the scam is. Perhaps it gives the seller a tax write-off when it doesn't sell?
