An amazing book singed by one of the greatest players of all time. 1 day left to bid on it. Right now it is at 38.00 bucks Canadian which is just 29 bucks American. The book alone costs that much and with the autograph. One of the best hockey books I have ever read.

Well as I found out last year with trying to get tickets during the playoffs, e-bay bidding doesn't really take off until the last day

Although you can occasionally get a bargain; I was too lazy to get a Devils' media guide last year, but I wound up looking for one after the season on e-bay and I wound up paying only $8.50 for it (media guides are $10 at the stadium), and that included the $4.25 of S/H from OTTAWA

Books at 35$ American but that might be how much the book costs already and now you can get it with an autograph too. 10 hours left.

Actually that's just how much the minimum bid is. If the current high bidder bid $100 as a maximum bid, and you bid $50, that would just make HIS 'high bid' $51. Of course if $35 is his maximum bid then you could get it for $36, but I doubt it.

I think it's called proxy bidding. Say a current high bid is $10, but the high bidder put in a maximum bid of $25. You bid $11, that just raises the price of the high bid, but if you bid $30 then you become the maximum bidder (with a $26 bid) so long as nobody else goes above $30. You state a maximum then e-bay only makes you pay as much as it takes to go above everyone else's bid, so even though your max may be $30 you could get object B for $26 if nobody bids higher.

Well one hour left. Books at 35 bucks American still now. If you bid a buck it will be at 36 or less.

You have no feedback! How do I know I can trust you?

j/k, I haven't even bid.

Well it was sold for 53 Canadian. I got it in an auction for 40 at the Ottawa Sports Charity Dinner. So pretty much it is like saying someone payed me 13 bucks to read a book I really wanted.

Ah so you were the one selling it in the first place

Why did you sell it then?

[devilsrule33]

Well I read it and really enjoyed it but autographs really don't mean much to me unless you met them. To me when you meet them and you get their autograph it is like a stamping that you met them. When you just have an autograph it doesn't mean much really to me. So I felt I could sell it and got back some money.
