That eBay auction is insane, who on earth is wanting to pay that?! Craziness.

$1200 is a shockingly high price. Hopefully it sticks.
Wow, $1200 already? Apparently it's good to be the first seller!
I had ordered two copies from Goldsboro, but they emailed today and said
I don't actually care as long as I get one, but I have ordered from them 3 or 4 times. I guess that's not enough to qualify as a loyal or regular customer?In the light of recent developments and in order to satisfy loyal and regular customers we are unable to provide you with multiple copies of The Cuckoo's Calling.
We've immediately refunded you for the difference.

Mysterious just cancelled my order.

I expect mine will be cancelled soon then
Just got the email as well.
I just got emails for both my orders that were submitted last night.
Mine was cancelled as well. still have my order from Goldsboro though
That'll be in 2-3 weeks.
As a J.K. Rowling collector since a few years ago, I am really sad of how the events developed.
I couldn't get a signed from Goldsboro, it was already sold out, and I reserverd from Mysterous books yesterday in the morning, also canceled.
So from the four books I want to own (UK and US 1st, US arc and UK signed), I won't get any of them.
A good way to start the week crying
Mine was cancelled from Mysterious as well
By the way, if someone bought two signed copies and wants to sell one, please pm or email me to patriciotarantino at gmail
I talked to Myst. Galx. and they told me they only ordered 3 copies for hundreds of orders. They also said Amazon UK is sold out of 1st printings.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I ordered US and UK from a bunch of different places yesterday so we'll see.
I talked to the lady at Murder By The Book this afternoon and she said the shipments that will be coming in in August will be second printings.
Foyle's seems to still have some but who knows if that's correct or not.
The cheapest copies out there aren't yet in stock. They say will ship next week, as major bookstores are saying too, when they receive new stock. I think they will be second print

Yes, all the cheap ones on Ebay and also at most US book stores are going to be 2nd printings. Everywhere I emailed or called said the book would be in stock next week, meaning they are reprints.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I took a chance and ordered from Foyles. It said it would be dispatched within 2 days. Fingers crossed.
And if anyone gets an extra US copy, I would love one! (as long as it's not $1000 - )
