I don't see why used sales should be controlled in the same matter as new sales. Discontinuing the printing is different than preventing sales of used copies.

- neltnerb 6y agoYou're approximately the first comment I've seen on this entire thread that actually noted the difference without hyperbole about banning books and censorship, thank you. I'm with you; I don't think ebay should be forced to sell anything, but I think it was a bad decision to knee jerk ban auctions for the books in the news this week when they sell literal nazi medals. I'm not angry with ebay, but I think they made a stupid choice and that they have highlighted how few alternative ways there are to purchase used books. Upside is that it's good they are highlighting it now, finally. It's a very peculiar flex for them to decide to do, reselling books has a very long history of court cases saying the publisher cannot control the sale of an original purchased copy.
