AB Bookman coming back as book auction/listing site?
"William M. Klimon" wrote in message news:SfTOa.36811$ZE.9815@lakeread05... As of this afternoon, we have an agreement in principle (the principals agree, now the lawyers have to word it right), for control of the intellectual property, name and archives of AB Bookman. I think this is a great idea--but perhaps about 4 years too late. I don't know if it's possible to break into the current market--even with the valuable IP they have. I would certainly support the venture if they made the article archives available--they've got decades of good material--perhaps they can leverage that into interest in their auction site? William M. Klimon http://www.gateofbliss.com I agree that it might be too late, but those of us who did subscribe for years still miss it. IIRC, they did attempt a subscription site of sorts, late in the game, but it seemed to be outrageously priced. Anyone remember the costs? I'd be willing to pay for an online AB, as nothing else has come close to replacing it. I'm not sure if the auction route's the way to go; if they do, perhaps they could incorporate some innovations not available on eBay (extended auction times, ability to "buy it now" until bids reach a certain level *without* a reserve). Being a different kind of auction will be key. Kris |
