Wait a minute..... You're claiming a 3lbs priority package would have been $19 MORE than what you already paid? So $22-23 to ship priority...for a 3-4lbs package? I just ran those numbers....you could ship priority from the east cost all the way to the west coast for $15. or all the way to Hawaii in the medium flat rate box for $11.30 Right. I was going worst case scenario. In which case he's only moderately wrong. Normal scenario, like you mention? He's delusional. $11.30 in a ********pre-paid*** medium******* flat rate***** box. I sent the books in my own box, which is thick double wall; the sort of box that CGC ships out slabs in. Not a medium flat rate box. Maybe the clerk wasn't accounting for the pre-paid postage that was already on my box.Which was about $3.77 ,IIRC. Look, if 1Gringo wants to send the slab back to me, fine.I'll cover his shipping cost, and he can keep the raw book.If I was more patient, I would have cracked the slab and subbed it to CGC, I think it should have gotten a 9.8.Instead, I cut my losses and put it up below FMV, even for a 9.6, with free shipping as well. I own and operate a small landscape construction business, I had 2 things going on last month.I will explain and then I'll stick a fork in the lot of this and the board can decide wether I should be tossed to the fires. During that 1 month where I didn't ship the book, I worked an average of 75-85 hours each week.I installed a 210 foot paver walkway and 2 sets of steps, followed with a small 10x40 foot firepit in the homeowner's back yard.Landscaping to dress up the job in the front consisted of removing an ugly, overgrown shrub and planting a Japanese maple in its' place, along with decorative flowers and 5 yards of mulch in the front bed. I didn't use a Bobcat.With the exception of a helper, I did all of the excavation myself, by hand. During that month I went up to Baltimore to sub books to CGC.Went up there on Saturday.Had about an hour of sleep, was up all night prepping books on Friday.Got back and found out my helper was trying to negotiate a job with the homeowner.Fired him on the spot. So I completed the job by myself, it's very hard to find a brick layer, who has a driver's license and will show up to work, everyday. Now, I am working 2 days this week on a stump grinding job with the rest of my time spent on pressing books ,ebay and getting my stock ready for a show this weekend. So, there you all have it. Either put me on the probation list or do not.I have done nothing to be ashamed of. The lot of you are reacting like I am a Godamned pederast. Can't you just say Mia Culpa? We all have mess going on in our lives and the fact you couldn't manage to take 30 minutes to get to the post office or communicate effectively and to the buyers satisfaction is YOUR fault and there is NO excuse for it. Your deflection tactics are hilarious. God knows how long you would have kept this guy hanging if he did not bring this up here. The right thing to do is let him keep the books and refund all his money for the aggravation you caused him and move on. I vote for the PL for the mere fact you refuse to FULLY accept responsibility. Regardless I'm certain you've already made many persons "do not deal" with lists already. Good luck and God Bless.

Sorry for the lousy scan.. Probably the only modern semi-key I'll ever be able to afford in this grade but hell I'm happy!!

Stoked about the DD price variant.

Please leave feedback on any transactions conducted with me. Thx

Or talk about www.walkerstalkercruise.com I'm going!!

I had seen this one, thanks. There is some decent info but not exactly what I was looking for on second print run #s. Maybe we can pass the time debating the black vs white label thingy again....

Thanks brother. It was a 9.8 SS. 1 of 8 per the census. I have no facts, however I'd be shocked if the number is anywhere close to 21k. I'd also love to see those more in the know(and that have the time) get some print run numbers together..

Curious if anyone was able to ever find out the print run for WD 33 2nd printing? I couldn't find anything and just laid down some big $$ to obtain a copy.

My adds:

I have a 9.8 rrp double signed. I added to my set. I picked it up from that guy Court everyone talks about on here a year or so ago. Love that book!
