  1. The print run estimate has to be the weakest reason I have ever heard to buy a book. Makes no sense.
  2. Looks like an 8.0 to me. The description in that auction is pretty much as well honed of a swindle as you can get, without being downright criminal. Key points being a two fold double whammy, bait and switch sucker punch: The seller states he is not a professional grader, so he gets to opt out of actually assigning a grade to the book....initially, drawing in the suckers with the bait of basically saying that he doesn't know what he's doing. Then he adds in the switch of "This book will benefit from a press" to nail it home. Seeing as all of the spine ticks break color to one degree or another, a press will have a minor effect on the book. Best case scenario is a press bumps it from an 8.0 to an 8.5.... My take is that the seller knew exactly what he was doing. As a person who spends a bit of time hunting and submitting, as well as selling raw. And after reviewing the scans, I can say without a doubt that this book will benefit from a press. It may not become a 9.4/9.6, but you can increase the eye appeal and presentation 100%. The book is typical wavy modern looking junk, straighten it out and the eye appeal will shoot up. There is no "snakeoil salesman" tactics here, it is a typical listing for what Ebay has become. I don't know why someone dropped that kind of coin, but hey, it's not my money.
