Luke,
Have a question for you.
 From what I've seen of eBay the vast majority of stuff on there is new 
items. People buying new pillows, towels and craft stuff and reselling 
it to the highest bidder. The reasoning behind the ill feeling over 
Wendels book seem to be based on taking advantagous of "newbies".
But what is the difference between the buying and selling of the book 
vs. buying and selling of pillows and towels? I see no one suggesting 
that we contact the bidders of these pillows and towels to tell them 
where they can buy it for less.
This is an excellent example of capitalism at work. The bidders are 
apparently happy (or they wouldn't be bidding), the seller is happy, and 
when both parties are happy this is perfect capitalism.
Unless we are all prepared to sell our engines and literature for 
exactly what we paid for them, none of us should be complaining about 
the resale price of a book.
Just my 2 cents worth.

P.S. I hope you sold your Rumley for a profit. I don't think you are 
dishonest for doing so either.
