Not so much the destination but the people involved was my strangest one.

 

I had a book of poetry that had 112 pages and the entire book was stanza's of 4 lines (nothing else apart from

 

the opening pages and the publication details).

It was hand cut and published in 1908 and I tried reading it but wasn't really my thing.tease.gif

Put it up for auction and couldn't sell it at all over a 3 month period so put it on the bookshelf.

A month later I got an inquire from someone in the US wanting to buy it and the buyer wanted it for research

 

(he saw it via Google).

Sold the book for $20 as my one and only sale to the US and two days after I sent it I get two more enquiries

 

from US members who wanted to buy it as it was the only copy they could find worldwide.

 

I Emailed them back stating that it had sold and asked why the interest now and one of them replied that it was

 

for a University project based on the author also being into the occult and this book was supposed to be the

 

key into finding out why.

 

The first part of the project was for the class to find the book and who ever got it first was to receive extra

 

credits (so no idea how the teacher even knew if the book was available or if he had a copy).shok.gif
