This piece puzzles me.  It was listed here on AML for $795.  It sold July 7th on eBay for $895.  Whoever bought for $895 then listed it a month later on eBay for $850, and then sent me a private offer for $775, apparently willing to take a loss of about $200 when you include eBay selling fees.  It was taken down yesterday, unsold on eBay...but likely sold straight through PayPal.  

It comes with an LOA from Perry Cox.  With most sellers now seemingly wanting $1250 to $3000 for a Macca signed book why would someone be prepared to sell this for only $775 and take a hit of around a $200 loss to get rid of it? 

I've been kicking myself for not jumping on it for $775, but I’m wondering what the mystery is about this item.

Thoughts?
