EBay Scam

[melbxs]

There's a company (or two) re-hashing wikipedia pages and having them printed to order as "books". These books are showing up on EBay and even Amazon at crazy prices.

Some of the book subjects are motorcycle related:

I have seem=n these for all sorts of subjects and there is no value in owning one as all of the content is already on Wikipedia.

Some more details here:

I would ask that members of other forums (motorcycle related or otherwise)  warn members of this scam.
