Ebay didn’t want the publicity from the high prices that the Dr. Seuss books were selling for. Ebay lets any user search past sales. Amazon doesn’t, obviously.

And this is surprising because...?

Actually,I've just had an idea. I live in an area that is served by a public library consortium that,collectively,has just just about every book ever printed in English in their collection. Their website is searchable by title,author,keyword,etc.

I'm gonna check them out now to see if any of the titles in question are still available.

It’s all a deliberate and calculated distraction to change the subject from stolen elections and an illegitimate government.

Just checked the website. I'm amazed...astounded,in fact...to see that the Cambridge Public Library has a copy of "If I Ran The Zoo" still available...and that there are 47 people waiting to borrow it!

I only checked that title...can't be sure what I'd find in a search for the other titles. But Cambridge is in Massachusetts...and it's the home of Harvard *and* MIT. To the typical resident of Cambridge Che is a right wing reactionary.

But I do expect that title,and any other that's still available in the network,to disappear soon. After all,Princess Liawatha,our *senior* Senator,will surely demand it.

You couldn’t pay me Trillion dollars to read that book. I never understand why so many are fascinated by that book.

There are also at least 16 copies on sale at eBay. There are 39 copies of And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. Yesterday it was 520. It looks like eBay backed off.

And I closed my ebay account after 15+ years.

Political correctness, wokeness and the entire liberal agenda is killing this country.

however, one can buy lots of needed stuff on ebay easily and quickly

Virtue signaling closing an ebay account is a meaningless jesture

It’s a meaningless gesture to the company not to the person closing the account... which hasn’t been used in a few years anyway.

I keep reading that eBay removed the Seuss listings, but they haven’t. You can buy all of the discontinued books on Ebay, if you have the money. Here’s just two examples:

I wonder if it's possible to buy the rights to these 6 books and then sell them from our own website?

This could be a good business opportunity. Sell them along with Unabridged version of Huckleberry Finn, old Amos N Andy TV shoes, etc. Needs a catchy name though

Maybe what this country needs is a well funded conservative organization that examines what these big companies are supporting and boycott whatever products or services they provide.

It’s getting serious. The Bible predicts that people won’t be able to buy or sell unless they have the “mark of the Beast.” Maybe being communist is a part of the mark.
