    Youthful Romances 11. Awesome cover for obvious reasons. Not a bad copy at all except that's its missing a page which interrupts art and story. Well, here's a chance to get a copy of this book for a mere $50. SOLD

    First takeit wins and immediately trumps all PM negotiations. Any variation of "takeit" counts. I accept Paypal, Venmo, check, money order or cash. No Hall of Shamers or Probies. Payment expected in 72 hours unless we work it out ahead of time. US shipping is included. International shipping will need to be determined prior to sale. Three days' return shipping from receipt. Buyer is responsible for shipping cost back unless item was damaged in transit. Please do not edit takeits and please do not commit to buy unless you intend to follow through.

    I agree with you; however, in the instance I mentioned, there was a sudden spike in demand that is coinciding with the TV show now coming soon. In all likelihood, everything matters.

    What town?

    Eh, what the heck. I'll go $400 shipped on this.

    The cover on this is actually detached. So I'll drop the price down to $300 shipped.
