Well, it wasn't a standard "bidding" auction. It was a multiple-units (2), 
fixed-price (£2) sale. Hence the price not changing. Still a rip-off, as 
text files of the first four books are pretty readily available online (any 
discussion of *where* is a no-no on this list, so I won't go down that 
path...).

As for the GBP sign, on a Windows machine press your ALT key (left of the 
space bar) and 0163 on your numeric keypad (with the ALT key down). Of 
course, we Brits only have to hit [SHIFT] + 3. :-)
