Bkstr: "No. We don't quote ISBNs and other info like that over the phone"
Me: "Why not?"
Bkstr: "Because we don't want you to buy stuff at Amazon instead." (actual quote
Me: "Why.....would.....umm....you expect me to do that??"
Later that day I went in person to the store and copied all the ISBNs down. I paid $50 on Amazon later that day for the same book new.
