The print version of one of my OOP (out of print) books, FINDING CUPID, is available from a used book seller on Amazon for...wait for it...
$944.99!
Yes, you read it right. Almost $950!
Plus $3.99 S&H. :)
I am not kidding. Seriously. It’s not a joke. For a mere $948.98, you can own this rare, out of print collector’s gem!
I took a screenshot because who knows how long before someone plops down a grand for my book and the page disappears. :D
Here’s a close-up of the price:
Isn’t that just insane? Needless to say, this really made my day!
As of yesterday I had checked and found that my books and I are no longer listed on the websites of my previous publishers. That means, with all of my books now officially out of print, the only place the paperbacks are available is from used book sellers, or individuals selling their used books at various online venues. (The electronic versions are still being pirated, of course.)
Here’s the Amazon link if you want to check it out yourself.
And how was your day? :D

Amazing! Your book is worth more than my car. I'm going to throw out the gold I bought and start investing in your books.
ReplyDeleteGee...my books...helping humanity by improving the economy globalwide...
DeleteYeah, I can totally see that! :D
It's also sort of impressive that your book came out before the Bible.
ReplyDeleteI could never pay more than $850 for a book.
I noticed that too, Katy. It's a shame the seller can't count...but then, that's probably why he's offering my book for close to a grand! LOL
DeleteOnly $850? Oh, Katy, you cheapskate. ;-)
LOL! That is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth! It's just about the most fun I've had all year. LOL
DeleteI think that book is probably worth more than most of the crap I have in my house, lmao....
ReplyDeleteSame here! If I paid that much for a book I'd be terrified I'd end up spilling coffee on it! :-o
DeleteDamn -- I wish I'd bought those books. I'd be rich now! Filthy rich!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It makes me all giggly inside to know I've still got a box with several of those books hidden somewhere in the depths of my closet. :D
