When you list you can choose to make the listing private. In some cases that makes sense but not here it is was the real stuff.

Consumption has many harmful effects on health and is carcinogenic to humans. Various compounds present in the nut, including arecoline (the primary psychoactive ingredient which is similar to nicotine), contribute to histologic changes in the oral mucosa. It is known to be a major risk factor for cancers (squamous cell carcinoma) of the mouth and esophagus (food pipe). As with chewing tobacco, its use is discouraged by preventive efforts. Consumption by hundreds of millions of people worldwide – mainly with southern and eastern Asian origins – has been described as a "neglected global public health emergency".

Yeah...not suspect at all...

Their nuts have been removed as well.

On the flip side as a buyer I would appreciate the anonymity. I don't want people on the internet knowing all the expensive books currently in route to my address.

For me the trick is to buy the books for 50% of what I can immediately sell them for (generally after slabbing) then like an idiot instead of immediately cashing in the quick profit, I stick them in a box or on the wall and expect an average 10% a year additional return for the pile. No crashes please!
