Well, I think this was a killer find.
Always wanted a copy of "Oceanic Art" by Anthony JP Meyer. Searched EBAY but they always seemed to finish at crazy money & then the shipping! I'm talking the single copy BTW. So- I searched Amazon & found one in "acceptable" condition for cheap! I'm talking $24.75 plus 3.50 shipping. I buy & then wait. And I wait. After about 6 weeks, I get an Email from the seller. He tells me the copy he had after further investigation- was a pretty shabby copy w/ torn pages & a damaged spine. He said he didn't feel right selling me this one so he was sending me another- in a slipcover w/ 2 volumes in like new condition for same price.
About a week later it shows up.
Are you kidding me? It's like brand new! Book is pristine & looks like it's never even been looked at.
Pretty good score if you ask me. And..... for under 30 bucks!!!!
