[LM_NET] GEN: Satisfaction Guaranteed - buying books

[Johanna Halbeisen <JH@NEWSONGLIBRARY.ORG>]

This bugs me.  I'm looking for a copy of a book through the 
out-of-print book searches.  Many books listed do not describe the 
condition of the book.  They just say that they give refunds if not 
satisfied.  When you pay $1 (or less) for the book and $4 (or more) 
for postage, returning it is more costly than keeping it.  No one 
refunds postage.  I've stopped buying books where there isn't a 
specific physical description.  Does anyone have comments or helpful 
suggestions?
