Thank you for once again being the legal council of the list. But as I said in my previous email and you neglected to quote, I don't care whether it is legal or not. Nor did I ask if it was legal. I mean honestly who cares if it is legal? I refuse to buy from such a seller regardless.

This is not illegal and again, unless against the bookseller's contract with the online lister, perfectly legitimate. I've occasionally seen some of my in-print books listed at two or three thousand dollars apiece. So what? Everyone is free to do an online price comparison and no one is forced to buy.
