Yeah I've been seeing quite a bit of auctions like that. Usually I try to ignore them, but if I bid, I usually take the worst case scenario. Like in this auction, I would just assume the book to be in fine shape.

Just so you know before you start, this is :offtopic: and a bit of a :rant:

:D Wow, they really did hijack the topic.... :o that makes me mad! :x So mad in fact that I just :censored: .....oh, I can't say that....well, it made me mad anyway :!:

I got to thinking :think: maybe this topic really belonged under "Auction Hall of Shame" anyway! :lol: I don't know.... :?

It's cool though 8-) I won't get all confrontational.... :sumo:

As surprising :bigeyes: as that may be to some, it will really shock :bugeyed: others. But most will just roll their eyes :roll: I like to think some would be on :cloud9: and see the humor in all this! :P I'm afraid some just won't get it though and will feel left out :oops:

I hope :hope: the whole topic doesn't go radioactive on us :atomic: and get sent to "Topic Oblivion" :cry: because it has potential :littlesmile:

I know this isn't my greatest post :wink: , but it seemed funny at the time :) and even though I'm contributing to the hijacking of the topic :twisted: , I wanted to give it a shot. I hope I came out ok :thumb: and haven't found too many detractors :tomato: . or people who wich me general harm :bricks:

Thanks for taking the time to read my post! Even if you just stared blankly :| you have to admit, it is kind of amusing :kidaround: to have a post that uses all of the readily available emoticons! Sorry if anyone is upset :littleangry:

I'll take my leave now! :superstar: You may applaude as you see fit :applause:
