That seller is one of those terrible megalisters that can be found on ABE. A lot of the prices seem kind of arbitrary, especially if you sort their listings by highest price and see what's listed for $77035.39. What's strange here though is that usually there has to be another listing for an...

Is that a trend you've noticed?

I hope you can forgive the presumption of a new account posting things for sale, but I sell on eBay and just remembered somewhat of a connection between Wantling and Bukowski. I thought I'd pass along a link to the 4 Wantling items I still have available. Offers are most welcome. I also have a...

I'll second that d gray. 3 hours later and I'm still emotionally exhausted. Dulce and decorum est the way it ended though. These Jays are something special.
