ABE books is not a
shop - but a vehicle for many small shops to list books - usually rarer or scarcer ones.
Not surprising that Amazon bought it as it is much like the way Amazon already handles sales of "used" books.
I have used ABE several times, though not of course that
Rome seller listed for the
Lacam book.

PS, Joe - if you find any
Italian books on bronze coinage of the fourth or fifth centuries AD on your upcoming trip I
hope you can find a way to import them so they would be available on your site.
