Title: some scapler on eBay_Pagoda Style
Post by: lurtch on November 10, 2024, 03:23:07: Hello All,

Just an FYI for all of us. A copy of the well received Pagoda Style book - (insert applause and adulation for Michael Salemi) - is available on eBay.

The asking price will roll your eyes back into your head!

I think some copies have sold for more than that over the past few years… In fact, I recall one close to $1000.

They waited and eventually all received TWO copies of the book (one for the library and one for the boot/trunk and to take along)...along with a $120 refund...thus doing the math, each book cost each contributor a negative amount.

If a second edition is considered, I'd forward the funds for a few copies to help reach the minimum. It's a shame to see your book so rarefied and with such silly pricing from the scalpers.
