I am really, really frustrated with Abebooks. Thursday night I decide that I'm going to buy some used books that are kinda hard to come by for my reading pleasure. Consider Phlebas, Anywhere But Here and Fitzpatrick's War.
When I came home on Friday my card was declined for some unknown reason. Phoned up my bank and I think I figured out what was wrong. For those of you playing along at home I reckon I entered the wrong three digit security code on the back of the card.
So I decided to resubmit the order, re-entered my card information and went to the game. I came home and the fucking thing has been declined again.
Fuck it. This is too much of a pain in the ass for me. I'll just buy them through Amazon even though I can't get a copy of Fitzpatrick's War from Amazon.
This isn't the first time I've ordered through Abebooks. I got my father The Night We Buried Road Dog by Jack Cady through them. It was a wonderful experience but now the fucking thing doesn't want to accept my card. I have shitloads of cash, I do not have any bad credit, I don't know what the fuck is going on and neither does my bank.

May 4th will be the proof in the pudding. I put a lot of work into preparing the 420 game.
