Pinewald Station wrote:$60? You just made a lot of people sick..lol....I probably get one but not sure how high I want to go!A lot of those online sights are a major rip off - I bought a copy of "26 Miles to Jersey City" from a train show at Timodium, MD for SIX dollars 2 months ago. Inside the cover, is a print out from one of those online sites (I don't remember which) for like 120 dollars for the same book. I dunno if this book was purchased at that price by the buyer or he just printed it out, but I can't see taking a 114 dollar loss on a book....- if so, he isn't gonna be in business much longer!!!!
The only place I would get any kind of book online would be Amazon or Ebay. Thats just me, but from what I have noticed, these "specialty" sites tend to rip you off even more because they have a captive market of folks who really want what they are offering (and not just dealing with trains, I have noticed this with anything). Going to a site like ebay or Amazon, with "normal" folks and the general population, I find things can be found cheaper. Not always, and of course, there are always exceptions on both types of sites, but just keep your eyes open and enjoy the thrill of the hunt!
