I'm not kidding. I am looking for a sticker book for DD for Christmas (BTW, if anyone has seen any, the kind we had in the 80s where you can remove the stickers, I would be hugely appreciative) and I did a search on Amazon and found this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1551772965/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1259945280&sr=8-10&condition=all

Someone explain this to me, please.

Amazon has some supposedly re-usable sticker books but from reading reviews they are not reusable more than a couple of times and then lose their stick! there are a ton of princess ones and nemo etc.

And these are USED!?!? I don't get it. Plus, it's not like it's just one deluded seller--all 3 sellers are pricing it that high....

Cant say much for the one you saw on Amazon...however, we are constantly picking up reusable sticker books at Costco, Borders, Barnes and Noble, and Books A Million. At the book stores they are always in the bargain sections. We use them a lot for the 7 hour car rides up to my parents house. I have also seen them (although more pricey) at WalMart and Target.

Maybe it's a rare collectible? Other than that, I have no clue. Money laundering? :)

$6K PLUS shipping. LOL. For that price, you'd think they would comp the shipping at least. Who knew Blues Clues would be worth so much -- used even.

That's just stupid.

Woah, some ppl must really covet their blue's clues sticker books, lol! What are the stickers made out of, gold? Good luck with your search, I've never had trouble finding reusable sticker books, try target, borders and B&N.

From the description of the game

"Your purchase benefits world literacy!."

Haha! Better do a lot to benefit literacy!!

Ha! We have one of those sticker books. Maybe I can put a bargain-basement price tag of $3000 on it and see how it goes. :-)

I got ours at an independent toy store a few years ago, and re-use it a lot. I give the kids a few sheets, let 'em fill up the pages, and then peel them all off for the next go-round. I've seen similar books since then, always at small toy/gift stores. Hope you can find a cheap one soon!

That's crazy. There must be something about it we don't know.

I've gotten several of those kinds of sticker books from sortfloorbooks.com for great prices. I'd check there.

I have sold some things on Amazon. Their forum talks about big sellers using autorepricers and they respond to other sellers higher and lower prices. This looks like a place they got all out of wack!

That is interesting. Its funny because I have a sticker album filled with stickers from way back when I was a pre-teen. Its just a photo album, but is filled with tons of different kind of stickers, grouped by type, character, etc. Dd just pulled it out last week and I wondered if it was worth something..its has hello kitty, the smurfs, pacman, lots of "changies" and other stickers from way back when...no Blue's Clue's though!

Did you have those scratch 'n sniff stickers? Those used to be my favorite ones, lol.

why is the price such a strange number? $6,416.73 + $3.99 shipping.

Why not just $6,500 or $6,400? Seems very weird to me!

Oh I loved Mrs. Grossman's as a child! I would get one of these books and a slew of stickers. I've seen them at scrapbooking stores before.

Ah, that makes SOME sense. Very very silly.
