Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves and protects his legacy, announced early Tuesday that the six books would no longer be published.

Almost immediately after the announcement, the prices of those books surged hundreds of dollars on eBay.

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.

On Thursday, eBay started removing those listings claiming it violated policies.

Obama said in 2016 that Seuss was 'one of America's revered wordsmiths' who 'used his incredible talent to instill in his most impressionable readers universal values we all hold dear.'

Yet, eBay still sells Hitler's Manifesto, Goebbel's diaries and writings of mass shooters.

These corporate cowards cowed by the mob are truly pathetic.

Fake news; still available in dozens of eBay listings.
 
Private companies have a right to list what they choose and not list of what they choose.
