book seller having a laugh

Hmm, I wonder why this bookseller doesn't seem to sell many books:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lesley-Cookman-MURDER-SEA-paperback-book-/280571660057?pt=Fiction&hash=item41535fc719

5p for the book and £8 postage. This is a paperback book that weighs less than 250g in a jiffy bag so costs £1.51 to send. (I know as i sold mine on Amazon 2 days ago)

  • now only £2.65 for me using Economy Delivery

    "Economy Delivery" - does that have smaller seats, no free food & drink and a lower baggage allowance?
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.

    You also get the sweet smell of BO drifting from the person sitting next/on to you.
  • Why has this seller put "sorry no returns" in the description?
  • Perhaps the "Economy Delivery" carries a risk that the book may get damaged in transit such that, even after it has been turned off and then back on again, it does not work properly?

    Tricksy things books.....

    Tea? I've just read on another thread it was wine. Or is tea a euphamism?

    I'm already wondering whether I have time to pop out and buy chocolate before the repair man makes a fourth attempt to remember to arrive!
