http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Great-Ordeal-Book-Three-The-Aspect-Emperor-by-R-Scott-Bakker-ARC-8-16-/272227979110?

I'll not say its a good deal, as its very likely going to be way over priced, but you can bid for an ARC of TGO currently. Good luck.

Listing sold for $76.

Below a TGO ARC was purchased for $15.

Your post made me curious, so I searched eBay from my phone (app was logged in and I didn't feel like logging in on this comptuter).  Low and behold, I found a copy of the ARC for 15 bucks and 3 dollars shipping.  Bought it.  Fingers crossed...

EDIT: Here was the listing...

Your name have entered the list of legends.
“The thoughts of all men arise from the darkness. If you are the movement of your soul, and the cause of that movement precedes you, then how could you ever call your thoughts your own? How could you be anything other than a slave to the darkness that comes before?”

Nice, great find H. Glad I could be of service. As I said above, that's probably what a Bakker ABC is worth, but a steal at this current point of time. Enjoy it
 But if you spoiler it out of proper forum and tags, I'm going to have to murder you.

Haha, no, if it does come in (it will be at least a week from now, ugh, media mail) I'm not saying a damn thing.  Except I may give my opinion whether or not I think it is TTT level or not.

If it's here approximately on it's projected date (it tells me the 10th) I might be able to work out a deal with you if you want to read it in June,  ;)

Haha, no sir. I will read it with the rest of the rabble. Enjoy it yourself! (I'll tell you what I told MG, if you send it to me, you'll never see it again. It will go into the coffers, and I will horde it with my others ;) )

I just checked and there is another being bidded on at the moment. Last i checked it was $55. I'd buy it if I didn't already pre-order the hardback and Kindle. Alas, I can wait two more months
“No. I am your end. Before your eyes I will put your seed to the knife. I will quarter your carcass and feed it to the dogs. Your bones I will grind to dust and cast to the winds. I will strike down those who speak your name or the name of your fathers, until ‘Yursalka’ becomes as meaningless as infant babble. I will blot you out, hunt down your every trace! The track of your life has come to me,

Yeah, that was the first one that Wilshire had posted about.

My ARC has a tracking number (I've never seen one given for media mail before) and it says it is on it's way from the other side of the country.  Fingers crossed.

Show me one truth and you shall have your merest fraction.

Split topics because if this is going to keep happening I dont want it cluttering my other topic.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Great-Ordeal-Book-Three-The-Aspect-Emperor-by-R-Scott-Bakker-ARC-8-16-/272237010886?hash=item3f62971fc6:g:rvoAAOSwubRXI7S7

Same seller.
Same beginning list price (~$30)
Same auction time (5 days)
Currently the only placed bid is not someone who visibly participated in the previous auction mentioned up-thread.

FYI - according to the seller, he purchased several copies from someone. I don't know how many several is.

Well that one got expensive fast.  I guess it's not quite as bad as it's being sold by the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library and therefore, is a charitable donation.  Still...
