CSP Library said they never withdraw local books. Is this a county-wide statement?
|

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird.

That is what I understood. They also said that any library wanting to dispose of a book from their stock would offer it to another library, so I would expect CSP to accept it.

Did you mean county (no r)? If so I might have understood your meaning.

Sorry, yes, should have been county.
I imagine it was in another library and may have been removed whilst there and probably got misclassified or similar and no-one thought it was worth keeping. |

Ah, yes, your comment makes sense now. That still doesn't explain why, if it was misclassified or something, when it was advertised throughout the library system, why CSP didn't snap it up. I could possibly surmise that someone borrowed it, said it was lost, paid whatever cost, and then sold it on Ebay. Cynical me. I hope there might be another copy popping up for Tobic. |

I think I have learnt (too late) how to do this.
With 1 minute to go put in a high bid, even more than your limit. Your opposition will only get one more shot, then Ebay will bid the next increment up and you will get it.

not so tobic, - so be careful !
ebay will automatically bid on your behalf upto you entered highest maximum bid, but there are plenty of people out there using 'snipe' sites, so its not a case of 'one more shot'
these are 3rd party websites which will bid on your behalf in the closing stages of an auction, (you have to enter the ebay auction number and the details and then enter your highest bid and some details and these snipe sites bid for you in the last few seconds of the auction, )
its great if you cannot be at a PC as the auction closes... but be warned there are alot of these snipe sites and alot a configured so they bid in the last few seconds so you may find there are 10 or 20 bids placed in the last 15 seconds of the auction - especially if the item is popular/ rare
so if you had bid a large amount as you suggested... you may have found that bidding escalates dramatically in the closing minutes and you end up paying well over the odds for the item- so be wary ! Edited by big baggles - 30 April 2007 at 3:10pm |

Sorry Tobic, but I can assure you that the book went to a very good home, as I have quite a collection of CSP (and GX and Buckinghamshire) items. I have been buying on Ebay for approx 7 years, but have never been tempted to sell on Ebay as yet. Great book, just received.
