Odd feeling

A neighbour tells me that my Escaping Reality humour book is for sale on Ebay. Expressing a mixture of disbelief and weird pleasure, I had a look. Sure enough, some book seller I don't know is selling a new copy of the book online but for £14.99 plus p&p which is ridiculous. You can buy it much cheaper at Amazon or from your local bookshop if you collect the ISBN etc from my info page at

But maybe he thinks it's worth twice the price because it is signed. So I thought I bet it's not my siggie. But I fell off my chair when I saw it was my scribbling showing on the page photo here

My handwriting is for sale on e-bay - - hah! And yet ummmm. An odd feeling indeed.

Has anyone else experienced anything odd like that?

Apparently someone bought it for a sillly price last month and this is another!

Kewl :afro:  There's apparently quite a market out there for first editions and signed copies.  Though I read somewhere that certain books are actually devalued by their author's signature, which I find difficult to believe :scratch:
