Default Re: bargain books

Hehe...its hard at times...I learned the hard way; when I bought a book on Ebay and found out later I could have gotten it cheaper from a dealer... Now I just enter the max. amount want to bid and leave it at that. And the max is usually not that much anymore....Ebay.com has become a favorite now with the low $....And US booksellers in general too...

I am looking for British and Canadian (regimental) histories right now. Not that easy to come by (the good ones...) and pricey! Still got The West Nova Scotia Regt History (signed again) for peanuts not too long ago. On Ebay you see prices rise and fall....years ago a history by Essame on the 43rd Wessex did a good 40-50 GBP. I got my copy for GBP 11. All of a sudden multiple copies were offered and capitalism being what it is, the price went down. Same happened with Taurus Persuant and Mountain and Flood. Both are fetching bigger prices recently though.

Must say I buy more from dealers than from Ebay nowadays.
