The prices of six Dr. Seuss children's books are now skyrocketing online after it was announced that no further copies will be published because Seuss Enterprises said they contain racist and insensitive imagery.
Almost immediately after the announcement, the prices of those books surged hundreds of dollars on eBay as people placed dozens of bids for new and vintage copies.
A vintage copy of 'If I Ran the Zoo' was priced at $510 after receiving 54 bids, while a copy of 'Scrambled Eggs Super!' was at $565 after 58 bids.
A copy of 'The Cat's Quizzer', which the seller marketed as brand new, was going for $630 after receiving 48 bids.

Y'know, that's capitalism in action - and I'm happy to see it happen.

Funny how Dr Seuss's books weren't considered racist when President and Mrs Obama used to have their Dr Seuss themed reading days at the White house to encourage kids to read.
That was one of the very few things that Obama did that I was in favor of.
