Default I thought eBay was bad....

Just saw this on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Badges-Unifor...7158222&sr=8-2

The price really threw me at $919.00, but then I saw the publication date of January 1745, so yeah, I am sure a book on the RAF published in 1745 would be worth $919.00. After all, P.T. Barnum said "There's one born every minute", or does a fool and his money are soon parted!!!

That's OK, it's available on eBay for 11 GBP, but probably not the 1745 edition!

Probably a very early first edition, hence the price....

It fell through a hole in the time-space continuum, like The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Perhaps the seller will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes, just like the Cirius Cybernetics Corporation...

But why buy that new one at around the $900 mark when you can buy a used one for a mere $1008 ! (Has this one fallen deeper into the blackhole?)
