Disclaimers/small-print/ramblings/etc.
I am not a professional book-seller - I am someone who has collected books for many a year, and periodically decides to sell some of them off to free up shelf-space.
Descriptions/Grading of books:
I generally use the standard terms made famous by the now-defunct AB Bookman’s Weekly.
Grading the condition of anything is of course by definition highly subjective. I do my best to describe any defects and include photos as appropriate. No one has had cause to complain in the 20+years I have been active on eBay, and my feedback frequently mentions the accuracy of my descriptions. My goal for every transaction here is a positive experience for both seller and buyer.
Unsolicited offers:
If one of my listings says I will accept offers on that item, then please feel free to make one. If not, please don’t.
Packing: I pack books for shipment the same way I’d want anyone sending me a book to pack it – I NEVER use padded mailers/envelopes or use newspaper etc. for filler. If you look at my feedback, you’ll see a lot of comments along the line of, “very well-packed” – to date, no book I have shipped has ever gotten damaged in transit, and I look to keep that record intact.
I use high-quality bubble-wrap and tape and biodegradable packing peanuts (which costs a lot more than the standard Styrofoam peanuts) – the only time I use Styrofoam as fill is when I recycle it from a package someone sent to me, which seems better than throwing it out.
Shipping:
I default to USPS Media Mail - it IS a bargain - and offer it for most books I list, but be advised some people are reporting unusual delays with Media Mail of late. I of course have no control over the ultimate delivery time once it ships.
For books of a significant dollar value, I do not offer Media Mail as a shipping option.
International shipping: Sorry, no.
