$10 US for coggers reptiles and amphibians of australia..

[coz666]

mates, i was talkin to an american herper this morning and got onto the convo about books we have over here that the other guy was interested in... when i said coggers book repts and amphibs of aust, he started rambleing on how he used to breed a few of our native species when younger and how he picked up the book for $50 american, i said do you want to sell it and he said yeah i have no need for it if i pay the postage i can have it for $10. all up cost for me in aussie dollars $96
and to think that someone paid $800 not so long ago and is averaging 300 - 400 on ebay these days., i think maybe if you try different countries you too could pick up a bargain.

Why is it so special? Pages made of gold or something?

I like it much better than the new ID books.
It is the bible.

Isn't it the 6th edition that is the most sought after??
