It is a truism among collectors (in which category many of us here can

So, when an item is out-of-print, my advice as always is to keep
looking, haunt your usual sources, but also shop around and use Google
as the helpful resource it was meant to be.
I agree. The brick and mortar used stores in my area often have OOP
stuff for a fraction of the price of many online sellers, such as the
third party thieves at amazon. Patience is the most valuable
commodity, in this collectors opinion.
I failed to take my own advice! A copy of the DGG CD of Bernstein conducting
Stravinsky's "Les Noce" and Mass had been sitting around at Record Surplus
for a few weeks. After I read Scott Foglesong's recent San Francisco
Chronicle article, I went back and saw that it was no longer there. :--(
