To get them moving I ordered the book today and left the shipping rate line blank, I have now had an email thanking me for the order,
now have to wait to see how long before they find the error, hopefully then it will all go ahead.

Cheers Greg
Hopefully the shipping rate is not a few hundred dollars. Some of the overseas sellers try to charge that much.

This copy below is only $4.55 shipping.

Unless your name is Craig, then I fear it's worth not much more !!! :)

Elation turned to Deflation, I ordered the book on the internet from Canada, their website showed one copy available .
I had a return email thanking me for my order and then a follow up email saying it was out of stock.
no money lost but alas no book.#^%* happens. :irked:

Cheers Greg.

Have you tried contacting Indruss publications directly? You never know.....
Also, an advert in your local bird mag or on petlink might scare up a copy :)

Buying the $1,000+ one could result in divorce. Even if the freight is less than $5

No rush,I was just looking on the web when I saw that copy, a lot of sites show them in their lists and when you look further
there are none in stock.Will wait and see.

Look up "The Large Macaws" if you want to see grounds for divorce

I paid $3oo odd for mine and had a few icy weeks . .

But now I am seen as a wise investor . .

Temporarily I am sure :roll:

Even with the mid range price I found you did very well but if your copy is the edition that is....
"Bound with Nigerian emerald green goatskin leather, tanned in the traditional manner in England. Title and authors names are hand-tooled in 22 karat gold leaf. A Hyacinth macaw sitting on a perch is die stamped...etc etc"
you did extremely well.
These prices are great for the seller, but I often wonder if they ever sell one. :purplex:
