the older the listing, the less likely the OP still has the book they were trying to sell.
Sometimes it works out, but more often than not you make the offer or the buy and then a few days later your purchase gets rescinded when the seller notifies CLINK that the book is no longer available.
That is helpful info, so if someone tried to buy the same book before me and it was not available, Clink would have scrubbed it already. I went a ahead and tried it so we will see what happens. Appreciate both responses to help me.
I dont think this is actually happening. Or if it is, it's not happening every time.
There are books with "offers" that have had those "offers" for as long as I can remember.
CLINK is in the business of "least effort" (cause effort equals manpower which equals them spending $). Thus why no back cover scans on books, old website design, very little data scrubbing/inventory mgmt...
Well, guess your right. I got an email that book was no longer available. Fortunately they removed it from their dbase.
