I recently discovered an alternative to ebay called ioffer .It differs because there is no auction or bidding so the sellers simply states their desired prices (you are then free to make an offer)
try:-
http://www.ioffer.com/search/items/g...ioffer/0/false
I noticed a copy of Harry Tracy going for only $5.50
but when the item page opens it says
"This listing has been removed or is no longer available"
So it looks like it has been sold but still shows up in the results of a search of items which is pretty dumb, the list for GL items presently runs to 4 pages some rare including the 1969 Music Scene/For Lovin' Me volume I mentioned in another thread and both a CD and vinyl LP by Claudine Longet who was Andy Williams wife,that includes her version of Pussywillows, Cat Tails
I found the site whilst googling for rare unofficial DVD versions of the few films made from the novels of my favoUrite author
Nevil Shute
I got a great chuckle when I searched ioffer for "Nevil Shute" because the site helpfully a la google
was obviously concerned about a possible typo and slyly
