Hi Vee - I agree in principal that it's awful to see Bibles and letters going on ebay for huge prices, but... if not for ebay, many of these things would sit in someone's attic, or worse, get thrown out. I bought a centennial book for the town in PA. that my dad was from. Along with it, they sent a journal of a student nurse from the same town. She wrote it in 1922, and it's very eye opening as to schooling they got back then. (makes you SO glad you live now instead of then) I've been trying to find someone from the family, to get it back to them. So far, I only got in contact with another woman who has her (the nurse's) family pictures. She also is trying to find the family. But, if the seller hadn't put it on ebay, who knows where it would have landed. The seller obviously didn't think much of it, to toss it in with the centennial book. And in a lot of cases, it's the buyers that make the price. I had fought (bid against) someone for 2 yearbooks from that town. He took both of them beyond what I would pay. The only reason I got the centennial book from him, I'm up at weird hours, and that's when the auction went. But, that's why they can go so high in price. Kathy
