Al, Even if I did the BIN, whose to say that this seller will honor it? What galled me was her raising the price while waiting on my offer. Anyway, it's no big loss. I'll eventually find a nice set of these books.Like I said before, It's only a hobby, and not worth getting mad over it.

Why would you dicker over $5.00. You should use the buy it now, on something your really want. Now you are going to stew over not getting the item forever. If you had paid $5.00 too much the ejoyment of the item will make you forget what you paid almost immediatly. See you at Expo over the weekend.
