Hello all- I just wanted to mention that I have *just* opened by auctions and ebid-store- I specialize in collectible science fiction hardbacks, fantasy hardbacks, horror hardbacks and collectible comics.
The reason I am posting this thread is that I hope to sell *alot* of books to one buyer - so IF YOU LIVE OVERSEAs - THERE IS A very VERY CHEAP way to mail them to you - starting at $20 for four or five hardbacks (the big ones), and then each book thereafter is $1 more... so you can get alot of books mailed very very cheaply.
I pack my books, padded very well, waterproof sealed in boxes - then these boxes go in a duffle bag - this bag is called an m-bag for shipping large quanitities of books (probably intitially set up for a publisher to send tons of books overseas cheaply) but just think - 30 books for like $30 dollars or so... that about $1 per books....
Only problem is that its slow - like 2 to 4 weeks to Canada, 3 to 6 weeks to England, and probably 4 to 8 weeks for Australia... but its a REALLY CHEAP WAY TO GET LOTS OF COLLECTIBLE BOOKS mailed to you for next to nothing...
So I invite you to scan my auctions - I am posting whenever I get the chance and hope to have my 2000+ PRIME CONDITION collectible hardbacks up soon, and 5000 plus collectible comics up for auction...
I have high turnover and sell cheaply... my motto is, what good is it to sit on a book on not sell it trying to get the most you can - I buy reasonably on the best of the best condition i.e. near mint never read, or very fine read once, and then make a low profit selling them cheaply....
But it adds up - just wanted you to know about the m-bag I can mail you books overseas for an average of about $1 per book....
