Any unqualified (TAKE) trumps any PM's or qualified/conditional takes (e.g., take pending photos).
REPEAT: Placing a condition will not preserve the book for you. Earliest timestamp decides the winner on any take. Ongoing or pending negotiations DO NOT preserve the book for you (regardless of when the offer/counter was made or who made it). No offer/counter is good until memorialized in the thread as "claimed per PM". Basically, claims in the thread always take precedence.
Shipping to US will be via USPS only and will be based on weight. I am able to ship via Media Mail, First Class Mail (for anything up to 1 pound), or Priority Mail. Exact amount for shipping will vary by weight and destination (I am in NJ). Media Mail cost starts at $4 but increases depending on weight. First class mail will range anywhere from $5 to $9. Priority mail prices begin at $9 and will be capped at $16 (as long as it fits within a medium flat mailer). I prefer not to ship media mail but happy to do so only if you expressly acknowledge and accept the risk of delays, damage or additional costs (for instance, if the package is returned to me as inappropriate for media mail, you will have to pay for the additional cost to ship ... sometimes it happens). For international shipping, please PM me for cost estimate.
I accept Paypal only.
Returns on books are accepted within 5 days of receipt and only if there is damage in transit.
I always leave Kudos after payment is received. As for my kudos thread, here it is:
