Robot Man Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Howdy Gang! Got a pile of around 40 (give or take) 1950's Atlas Horror/Fantasy/Crime books this time. These are undercopies I have up graded mostly. Some cool books with artists like Everett, Maneely, Williamson, Anderson, Torres, Krigstei, Orlando and more. These are all for the most part, low grade complete readers and fillers for folks on a budget. I will post front and back covers and mention anything significant, especially anything that can't be seen in the photos. Feel free to ask any questions before you take it if you are concerned. I will be posting them for a couple of days as I have time. Rules:No problem children or HOS members. Postage is $8.50 For one or two books boxed First Class, After that, $17. Boxed Priority Flat Rate. I don’t use the USPS flat mailers too much risk of damage. I prefer to sell only to US addresses but might make an exception if I know you. PM's and offers... I am trying to sell this stuff and want to get as much listed as I can. I try to price fairly. I probably won't have a lot of time to review PMs if I want to get this stuff listed. An "I'LL TAKE IT" icon takes it first. So, keep that in mind if you want something. When I get done, I will review PMs (in order of when they came in). If you have a question (other than a lower offer) post it and I will try to answer you. I would MUCH prefer Checks or Money orders but will accept Paypal if I have to…. Returns: No hassle returns within two weeks from when tracking says it was delivered. Return postage is on you unless I make a gross error and in that case I will "man-up" and pay return postage. I don't expect any returns though as I've only had a couple 4 in 40 years. This stuff all comes from a smoke filled, varmit infested, mouldy junk house. (Just kidding!) Here we go...
