Did anyone see this auction? 1)The book is sold raw. 2)It is a private auction

3)The book was checked for restoration by a reputable "high end seller" that graded the book 9.4/9.6. The E-Bay seller indicates that the book is only a 9.0 (That would make me feel real warm and cozy).4)The book originally came from an estate auction (where have I heard that one before?) On the other hand the feedback looks great so maybe it's legit?

 

Anyway, here is my question: Why does E-Bay allow this type of disclosure?

"I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SELL THE BOOK TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER BEFORE AUCTION END AND IF I DO NOT GET WHAT I FEEL THE BOOK IS WORTH I WILL RELIST IT AFTER THE NEW GUIDE COMES OUT.

 

If you are afraid that you might receive a price that you deem too low then use a reserve. There really is a reserve on this book. You will have to wait until the auction ends to find out where the reserve is.

Nice book, although the edges do look a bit square to me. Should've been slabbed, IMO, if he wanted a premium on this item.

I think the top edge has been trimmed.

And possibly the RHE as well.
