RE: Where are you? - Panoramania, buying used

[Andy Buck <buckwiet@xxxxxxxxx>]

pardon me, but avoid alibris at all costs! All they do
is search other booksellers, buy it and mark it up!
This is a case in point: Panormania on Alibris is
$106. On www.abebooks.com it's $73 - and I'll bet it's
the same copy. Also, you can search on
www.bibliofind.com, but abebooks usually has the same
dealers and more. I buy a lot of used books of all
types and would never buy from alibris.
