This verbal agreement seemed quite fair, I agreed and she left.
It was many months later that I checked Bison Books website that I discovered two books from the pile she had purchased were listed at $100 and $1000.
I called the store, talked with Amy, who told me she had placed a slip of paper in the books as a reminder of the verbal deal we made so if the books were sold I would get my agreed upon portion.
A couple years passed and late last year I found out the $1000 book was not listed any more.
I called the store, talked with Amy, who confirmed the book listed at $1000 had indeed been sold but for much less, in the $200+ range. I mentioned the verbal deal and slip of paper reminder and she casually said the paper must have fallen out, and she had to deal with more than one other dealer to find a buyer and she probably 'lost' money on the deal...
This was quite the different person who gladly bought my books and gave me a fair verbal agreement for books she wasn't totally sure of value-wise.
This is not a reliable or honest owner (or business) who was quite smug in brushing me off and reneging on our verbal agreement.
Seller beware.
In reply to your reply:
Sure, Amy, my memory is fine, how's yours?
It wasn't a decade ago, more like 5 years, max. (check your cancelled cheque)
You hung up on me after your long-winded excuse-fest of why you're not liable to give me my verbally-agreed upon share from selling that book.
My patience was thin and I said you sounded 'slimy', which was my reaction to being excused away.
My apology was immediate but there was no "understanding" to be had.
Do you deny the slip of paper reminder thing never happened?
Do you deny saying it probably fell out?
Do you deny telling me at point of sale that if any books you weren't sure of would yield me a 30-40% portion of the sale price, that is if you under-valued them originally?
These points are unanswered in your reply. No concern to you, obviously.
My anonymity is practical considering all the spam, hackers and identity thieves polluting the net. Sorry that bothers you.

I only shopped for non-fiction and found everything on the shelf to be interesting, high quality titles. Prices on non-rare books were reasonable. This store also was much better organized than most used book stores.
Highly recommend.
