It seems, like Paperbacks have been gaining some ground lately. There have been several successful threads here on the boards. I have a large box of interesting ones in varying conditions. All are priced pretty cheap. A bargain in these days of extremely high comic and pulp prices. Something for probably everyone. Thought I'd offer these here before I take them out to the flea market for the young hipsters... This sale will probably run a couple days. Have fun!

Rules:

No problem children or HOS members.

Postage starts at Ground Advantage but might bump up to Priority Flat Rate Box depending on how many you buy. Since these would qualify, I can also offer Media Mail for the budget minded. Just state how you would like me to ship.

I prefer to sell only to US addresses but might make an exception if I know you.

An "I'LL TAKE IT" icon takes it first. So, keep that in mind if you want something. 

I will take PayPal, Checks or Money Orders as payment.   

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...
