[ModLib] THEY DRIVE ME NUTS

[Terry Seymour]

Complain about ABE if you will. But the fact remains, they have more books listed by far than any one else. We all need to help them improve and thrive if we want to continue to benefit from the resource.

  Joe I had that problem a while ago and I talked to Abe about it. What you have to do is disable isbn matching  in your database.

    I don't sell on abe as my selling volume and inventory is low (by design, mind you).  But I challenge you to FIND a particular title/date/dj on abe.  It is very difficult and only for the most patient of collector.  And, Joe, I see from your posting that you are in the percentage of sellers who will, if presented with an informed buyer, answer email questions posed to them through the abe system.  An unresponsive seller drives me nuts...

      ABE books can be so helpful?
      I list  with ABE 12.3
      The Complete Poetry And Selected Prose of John ,Donne  (non first therefore no date)
      ABE then puts up on my site:
      The Complete Poetry And Selected Prose Of John Donne
      The 1994 reprint along with Dust Jacket photo and a ISBN number!!
      What a hassle I have when I get a order for the book.
