The reason I brought it up is that I have seen this with a few sellers. And they are selling newly released books, not overstock.

I realize that this guy might be a rip-off (one of the good things about Paypal is I know I will get my money back if it doesn't show), but for $18 for an Absolute, I can be out that much for a few weeks if it doesn't pan out.

It's the sellers who have been around for awhile with new, multiple copies i am really looking at, and making me wonder if pallets of books are being stolen somewhere on a regular basis ...
