Yeah.  Common feature of eBay auctions.  People pay more for a used book
with broken dust jacket, than they would for a new copy of the same thing
from Amazon, Border, or Barnes & Noble.

eBay is an interesting phenomena: I'm not sure what it says about the
psychology/sociology of the human race, though... ;)
