Yup, that was my book that I bought in a bulk variant lot about 5 years ago. I had set it aside to get signed by Campbell at some point, and it never happened. I knew it wasn't a 9.8, and you know how most moderns go...if it's not 9.8, it's trash.
Forgot I had it until recently, ran across it, pressed it, subbed it onsite at Baltimore...and Voila!
Yes, he's just trying to flip the book. More power to him. What he does with it after me ain't my concern. I just wish the results of the MCS sale had been known to me; I would have been less willing to let him talk me down.
Your copy sold about 5-10min before the other one.
Actually, we don't know that. The MCS listing was simply taken down a half hour after RMA accepted his offer. But RMA's sale is recorded by GPA as the later completed sale, and, regardless , both copies were available for weeks on eBay at the same time.

Maybe the sale of the MCS copy triggered the sale of RMA's copy on eBay? Who knows.
