Proof that people are willing to pay way over retail on eBay.

Not according what she told me.

So is this misprint in all the newly released books? If so that could be a collectible considering only about 10 plus million were released the first week.

No, there can be different misprints in different books. Only a small percentage of the first printing books have misprints in them. For example, some other batch of books has the first 20 or so pages missing. Those are being sold on ebay as well. When you print millions of books at a time, you're gonna have some errors.
