Those are the ones that get sold collector to collector because sometimes things get slightly edited or changed before official publication. These are obviously advance copies that have ended up in the hands of either journos or publicists.

Thanks for the explanation Gator. I don't know much about book publishing.
Have y'all noticed that the auction was ended early? Something about an error in the listing. If you look at the list of bidders you'll see some crazy, obviously fraudulent bids. Don't know if he'll list it again.
ETA: The explanation given says that the seller ended it, but is it possible that ebay made him end it?
