The moon is almost full, which may explain the bids I got today. 4 out of the 5 auctions I had closing tonight went for way more than they should have. Every so often this happens, where a group of my auctions skyrocket for no apparent reason. So perhaps it is just the full moon.
It's nice, of course, but you keep expecting the buyer to come to their senses, , and until the money is in my hot little hand & the package mailed off, it doesn't seem quite real. I also wonder if they really have read the description--one book that I described as having a LOT of underlining and margin notes went for over $40. Granted, it was on freesmasonry & you expect those to do well, but still... Itwill be interesting seeing this person's reaction when the book is sent to them.

I had the same thing happen to me last week. I kept thinking, "Are you guys nuts or what?" Only one out of the group is an NPB. Too bad. The bidder has been a member since October and should know better.

Well, this is a first: the buyer for the book I mentioned above emailed me this morning and says he will be sending me $15.00 for shipping because he wants overnight delivery! We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. -- John F. Kennedy
