A few entrepreneural souls might have just the thing for Sarah Palin fans who couldn't get to the Mall of America on Monday for an autographed copy of her new memoir.

Already a few signed copies of "Going Rogue: An American Life" have popped up locally on craigslist.com, but for way more than the $14.50 sale price at Amazon.com.

One seller wrote: "Waited in line nearly 8 hours. selling 200 for the deuce and 110 a piece. wristbands to prove i was there, books are in new, mint condition. dont miss your chance!!!"

Another seller wants $150 for their signed copy. "I waited in line for 5 hours this morning...SERIOUS BOOK LOVERS ONLY."

Then there's this ad: "5 unused copies of Sarah Palin's Going Rogue for sale. Were going to be Christmas presents, but Obama ruined the economy and need to sell ASAP. Signed by author's ghost writer. $50 USD or $1,000 New Global Currency."
