I'll consider going a year's salary for a 1st-century scroll of
Ezekiel...if it's in good condition.

Ain't that the truth! I taught college music for 30 years, and you can
imagine how much college folks love to buy those expensive Music History
and Appreciation texts-- which many of them don't even use while they're
taking the course!

Still... prices are one thing; service is another. ABS may be able to
justify their prices, but what's the excuse for the poor service I'm
reading about from list members?
