50p? 50P??? Is that all I'm worth?

A friend alerted me to the fact that a copy of my second novel is up on Ebay. For 50p. It's a signed copy, as well. WIBU to bid for it purely so I can hunt the seller down and slap the ungrateful bastard?

50p. Bastard. S/he will regret it when the new novel is out and selling billions of copies and pissing all over EL James and everyone is gagging to pay vast amounts of money for my shopping list...

So, SGB, summary of your day so far: Bad news, you are only worth 50p, Good news, you are now the proud possessor of a lego cave woman with club.

A fairly good day, on balance, I would say. Smile

Is it a book for children?

SPBInDisguise · 03/03/2013 10:35

Don't make her cry stealth, the lego woman is MINE!
(though if you want it SGB I'll happily send it to you - without the club as that's the bit I really wanted)

OhBananas · 03/03/2013 10:36

Is it a mucky book? Perhaps some of the pages are stuck together. That would drive the price down. Grin

stealthsquiggle · 03/03/2013 10:39

Oops - sorry SGB (and SPB!). I now need to know what the urgent need for a lego club is all about (I feel sorry for the cave woman though Sad)

I the DC acquired a lego Easter Bunny yesterday. He is very cool. And he has a giant carrot Wink

SPBInDisguise · 03/03/2013 10:40

The explanation is very dull sorry. I was entrusted a lego caveman, and have lost his club. So I've now bought him a mate, and they have to share a club.

Have you won the man booker prize??

SPBInDisguise · 03/03/2013 10:43

She's very quiet. I think I am right and she's Shakespeare. Clever of her to write in that olde-type language, make us think it's all 16C type stuff

SPBInDisguise · 03/03/2013 10:45

so - Lady Macbeth - driving force behind Macbeth who wouldn't have dreamt of killing if not for her (sorry to anyone I've just ruined it for :o), or caught up in her husband's ruthless ambition?

stealthsquiggle · 03/03/2013 10:54

That relationship is doomed - she will soon realise that he only loves her for the club

I don't care who you are really but if you were to let it slip I'm sure your sales would rocket as we would all want to check out your work (unless its a romance -Wink )

You are worth more than Jeremy Clarkson. I usee to volunteer at a free bookshop and we had piles of his books that nobody wanted to take for free.
