some people might, i suppose, but frankly, Dave, the new management of ABE
seems to have done its very incompetent best to ruin a perfectly good site
--perhaps in a run-up to an acquisition by Amazon or eBay (that's one idea
which has been floated on a bookdealers' list which closely monitors the
shennanigans going on on the "New and Improved ABE").

did that --considered, said precisely what i intended to say, and would say it
again, no problem.
book dealers (like myself) pay money, monthly, to list their goods on the ABE
site in return for which we now get a crappy, buggy site, lots of
interposition of ABE between us and our customers, inexplicable "delays" in
payments, etc.
find something on ABE, fine --then deal directly with the dealer, who, more
than likely, is a small business man/woman who appreciates dealing with other
human beings on a one-on-one basis.
