The seller told me that the buyer didn't want to pay sales tax.
Either way (shill or refusing to sell), it's a scummy move.
And I'm not sure why he thinks the book is worth more than $760.

I'm inclined to think he had a separate account bidding on it as well.CD Email: [email protected]

I have also noticed that the book is actually damaged. If you look at the far right photograph that shows the spine and zoom over the top left part of it, you will see that the edge is badly dented. It looks like he has either dropped the book or knocked it against something.
However, in the listing he describes the book as "MINT CONDITION AND NO WEAR AND TEAR WHATSOEVER."
So not only is he using a shill to bump the price up and instantly re-listing it when he wins his own auction, he is also falsely describing the condition of the book."I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged."

I've noticed a lot of people use key words to describe their items as fine or mint but when one really looks at it there is often something wrong with it. I think sellers sometimes take into consideration how old an item is and then list it (without stating) "well, it's a 30 year old book in mint condition so you have to expect damage/wear for a book this old, so yeah it's mint." I (and probably everyone) want the seller to honest and forthright with the description.
