Holy crap! Best $5.40 I ever spent

About a year ago I found a book at Half Price Books, a used bookstore, in my area for $5. Reason it was so cheap is the book says no where on it the original price so they just slapped $5 on it and tossed it on the shelf. I bought it, tossed it in my car and forgot about it. A year later I put it on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7164744959

Over $125 and a day and a half left. Thank God. I need the $ since I broke my car today.

And no this isn't a useless plug for the book (I posted it already).
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

And I thought this was a thread about cheap prostitutes.

So... what's so special aside from it being a wee rare?
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

You can buy it new for like 40 dollars on some site :P
Think while it's still legal.

Photocopy every page before you ship it, you might someday need the knowledge it contains when you face your former master and kill him for his crimes.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I wonder if any of my old pokemon or star wars cards are worth anything.
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I'll have to not make a point of asking you about it sometime so you can not tell me about it.

Me too. Though I don't think I'll give up my Star Wars ones for a while...

[edit 2] Previous edit has been edited on the account of I found this:

"Note: This is not a martial arts training manual in the sense of showing fighting techniques. It is more a philosophical book with quotes of by Hatsumi Sensei. While the book does contain photos, it is divided into different chapters that discusses aspects of fighting."

But still. You can't learn Martial Arts from a book/video alone.

I have a huge cardboard cutout display for the re-releasing of the original star wars trilogy with Yoda, R2D2, C3PO, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and a storm trooper. You can find it on e-bay in about 40 years, assuming that e-bay is still around and the world hasn't been engulfed in water and only kevin Costner knows where dry land is.
