<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2697106, member: 19463&quot;]This is now what we call proper business practice.&nbsp; The days of the honest shopkeeper seem numbered.&nbsp; It is not just coins.&nbsp; Lets talk about books.&nbsp; A recent thread here recommended a book.&nbsp; I went on Amazon and found it new for $27.87 and used starting at $9.98 and going from $51 to $202.&nbsp; Several associated sellers listed by Amazon offered new copies for $23 to $33.&nbsp; I ordered the $9.98 one.&nbsp; A few days later I received a note that my order was cancelled because the book had suffered water damage and was moldy.&nbsp; They did not charge my card (at least not yet).&nbsp; Today that used seller still lists the book at $9.98 but I&#039;m not reordering it.&nbsp; I may order one in the future when their state of the art software reprices the $202 one at one cent or I come up with enough books I want to get free shipping.&nbsp; I&#039;m&nbsp; certain the business minded among you understand how it is worth their while to pay software wizards to write software to autosell used books and make me yearn for the days when it was the little old man in the used book shop that was moldy rather than his books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
