This made me laugh and laugh.

They're trying to sell my coloring books, used, for $100 apiece? When you can get them new for $7.50? (or less, as they are on sale right now...) Also, how did THREE separate sellers get copies of it? I've only sold a handful wholesale. Weird...

I've reactivated my account and am listing a few things for sale.

That is SERIOUSLY messed up. Talk about trying to rip people off hardcore.

My guess is that they weren't sold wholesale - the condition makes them sound truly used, so those were probably copies people bought for themselves and are now reselling themselves or have wound up in the secondhand bookstore market and are being sold that way 3rd or 4th party or whatever.

Careful -- they might sue you for price-cutting!! :)

I love the comment on one: "Shows some signs of wear, and may have some markings on the inside."

Markings? In a coloring book?! Never! ;)

Last time I looked up my books on Amazon, one person was selling a used copy for $180! Now there's some crazy optimism for you, considering that you can buy it new from Amazon for $14.95. I have no idea what makes people think it'll work. :D
