I thought that there was to be no advertising on the list In addition to that I purchased these two "books", "Reads, Reids, Reades, etc." about 2 years past and the price was less that $15.00. They might be called books but they are more like reports. They are Xeroxed or mimeographed and stapled together. I got nothing for them and will be glad to sell them for $50.00, not $75.00. I am not really trying to sell my books but I wish others wouldn't do so on a genealogical site. Gordon Hale

I guess I dont see making available some family research or coordinated history as "selling or advertising" . I do see it as selling if you paid 15dollars, used it and now offer the same for sale at 50 dollars. If you didnt get much from it why didn't you ask for your l5 dollars back. The fact that some people do purchase these materials i.e. you, tells me that there are those of us that appreciate the time and effort some one else expends in the search of knowledge that may be of some interest and use. In life as in geneology I have found that "doing" is always better then "bitching" . Would you resell for 15 dollars or less now since it is "used'??? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 11:12 AM Subject: Re: REID-D Digest V00 #48 > I thought that there was to be no advertising on the list > > In addition to that I purchased these two "books", "Reads, Reids, Reades, > etc." about 2 years past and the price was less that $15.00.
