More money than sense, this book is so full of errors it would need a
complete rewrite

Think that the decimal is either misplaced or the sold price is a
complete hoax?

It's also possible that the seller may want to wait until the payment
clears before sending the book.

Looked at the bidding history.  Seems authentic.  Daft sure strikes me
as right.

Just did a little Google and the book is out of print, but similar Datafiles
range from £17.50 to £30 (US$32-£55) secondhand. That guy must either be
desperate, daft or rich. Or all three!

Ah, the perfect e-bay buyer.

You need to try making grilled cheese sandwiches with someone's profile
