HELLO FREDDY!

THANKS FOR ALL

Not to create any hardship with anyone, but I did a Google search and found the book at this site;
http://www.bookcloseouts.com/default...4363408B&Rt=25
I think it is the same book anyway I ordered a copy from D.K.
http://www.dkagencies.com/
out of India last week at a little higher price than from the above link.

Yes, it s possible to find the book elsewhere. Even a bit cheaper.
But, to be sincere, and as a strictly personal option, given the tiny difference of price I prefer my money to go to a fellow forumite. That's just me.

Besides, this encourages people to offer here books that may be difficult to find otherwise.

To each its own, of course, but that's. for example, how I got (dirt cheap, in perspective) my copy of Cato's book some years ago...

Since it seems Freddy has sold his wares already i will make the following comments:
Marc has a good point and i agree it is nice to help a fellow forumite out....still. a bucks a buck and once you convert from euros and add overseas shipping our American friends might find the final price difference a bit larger. I must say that whenever i see a book for sale anywhere i ALWAYS check out bookfinder.com. For those who don't know, bookfinder is a collection of various booksellers from around the world who all offer their books on one site. Books are listed from the cheapest price on up. I would love to encourage forumites to continue to offer books for sale here, however, in this easy access world of computers and the world wide web it might be in their best interest to research the market value of their books before posting if they want to stay competitive with other extremely available options. It's only a click away.

I do agree also with Marc as well as with Mechesh
I did wait untill all avaiable books were sold before posting my suggestion for alternate places to look just to help out other on this forum that wanted to get a copy.
I did NOT post to create a problem/hard feelings with anyone I was just trying to help out others.
I did feel a "cool chilling effect" from Marc post however.

Hell Gene , we're all entitled to our opinions and I don't think Marc was being particularly critical of any of us ; he was just sharing a point of view and we are all allowed to have one .
Buck up Laddie .

I'm very glad you posted that link as I have ordered a copy from there also (they only had 9 copies left) .

I doubt very much that Freddy is offended by the mention of another source for the publication as he had only a few copies ; not enough to satisfy the customer demand .

Mare Rosu · 28th October 2005, 01:23 PM

Well now Mr. Rick
Your point is well taken and I have buckled up

Sorry to appear so sensitive.
The oil on the water is well taken.
I glad you got a copy of the book as that was the only reason for my post in the first place.
As far as I am concerned this subject is closed
Thank you
As Jens would say "enjoy the day"
