People will buy anything. I once sold a Disney Figurine that I bought for like $5. It was of the raccoon from Pocahontas. Apparently this raccoon is a hot collectors item. A girl in Japan sent me $120 cash (American currency) along with a package of Tokyo Disney trading cards and some stickers for it.
I appreciated it, but I could never see paying that much for a small, porcelin raccoon.
Or much else on Ebay. I doubt anyone is going to bid on the BoEF though. Because it's target audience , unless they are really mislead by his listing, knows the deal with the book anyway...

you will be surprised at what people will pay for things.
No kidding. A few years ago when the "Talking Elmo" thing was hot, a lady approched my wife in line at the store and offered her $1200 (yes twelve-hundred) dollars for it. Needless to say my wife turned it down.
Same thing happened last year with the collectible barbie dolls. My wife always buys several for my daughter around Christmas. A lady approached my wife and offered her some stupid amount of money for what was apparently the last one of its kind (at that store). She turned that down too.
All I know is they better be glad I wasn't there. My daughter would'nt have her "Talking Elmo" that year, wouldn't have her collectible barbies last year, and I'd have been at least $1200 dollars richer.

The seller is playing up the "collectible" angle. Since WotC suspended Valar's d20 liscense requiring all copies of the preview destroyed, and the preview has the d20 logo on it the seller is probably hoping for another Dune: Chronicles of the Imperium.
I really can't see a collector paying $400 for what amounts to a d20 logo though.

This coming from a guy writing up his experiences in the Banewarrens.
And before you say it, yes I know you didn't pay for it.
EBay is inherently based on the old axiom that "one man's trash is another man's treasure." If my wife sells collectible dolls for $100.00 a pop, that's fine - because there is someone who was just made very happy, however long or brief, by making that voluntary purchase. As long as the market will bear it, I see no problem with the act itself. "More money than sense" is an old saying with a DIFFERENT subject, one which I will not get into here.
One of these days, I'll get the gumption to prove the old saying, and offer a bag of my household garbage on EBay and see if it sells.
