If the book is on commission, it's weird that his listing reads:
I hope you get the book. It sounds like you really want it. But the seller doesn't sound like a straight shooter. The guy should just accept $1595 and be grateful for your understanding.
+2 The seller has really good feedback which really makes this unfortunate. Even if this was a mistake of leaving off the extra $1,000.00, he should sell the book for the $1,595. This should have been done already and not now upping the price per minute. Really poor form.
I really hope this is resolved to your satisfaction, PeeWee.
Bad form indeed...sounds like a guy I want to avoid. On a side note, shame on anyone trying to snag the book out from under you.
