You didn't BUY it, did you?

That version of the book actually comes WITH Mark Rippetoe.

I really hate these useless assholes that post a "new" book for sale. They are not one of our distributors, so what they have cannot be a "new" book.

They should describe it as "Mint Condition Still In Box."

It's robots Rip. Computer programs. What happens is you have one robot that puts up a product for say, 50 cents more than everyone else. Then, you get another robot who responds to this and puts up the same product for 50 cents more than the other robot. Then the first robot sees this and responds and so on and so forth until you get shit like this.

If you report it to Amazon, they will take it down.

You didn't BUY it, did you?

Yes, I plan to donate it to the rare book room at the Duke library. It would be a tax deduction.

This stuff has been happening for a while. It's usually bots working with weird (or non-existent) boundary conditions seeking optimal pricing.

See, e.g., http://readwrite.com/2012/02/25/when...owZNlvLmnBu3dP

So, at least it wasn't $7.5 million.

[Mark Rippetoe]

I don't care if they sell the damn thing for $7.5 Million. Caveat Emptor, etc. It just pisses me off when they lie about the "new".
