Looked at a large Copper collection (3,000 books) this morning...

[jsilverjanet]

The guy messaged me just now and said he'd take $560 for what was left...over 2,800 books. Basically 20 cents each if I bought them all. I'd just hate to get stuck with all that mess and it would take forever and a lot of work to turn a profit on it all. I offered him $250 and he declined. I offered him 50 cents a book if I could purchase 400 or so books and he declined.

 

Oh well...

 

Peace,

Unless you have the room, time and the money, I'd walk away. Wait for the next one.

i, of course write "please do not bend or crush" or something along those lines which always guarantees they'll be extra careful....

 

 

Those words are pretty much a guarantee the book will be bent or a corner or two crushed.

 

I say "please" and sometimes put a smiley face on there along with a "thanks". as my return address has my wife's name on it maybe the post office folks think they're being nice to a lady's packages and not some fat middle aged guy's? maybe i should put a kitty or heart sticker on there too? i think someone would have told me over the years if the packages get mangled.
