slightly scuffed BTP books (returns), at 20% of retail!
« on: December 21, 2008, 05:47:08 PM »
Howdy all,

The publishing business often feels like "on consignment" when
dealing with the major wholesalers, and returns are common.
I cannot resell them as new, thus I will discount them to 20% of cover price.

Not by 20%, but to 20% of cover price.

Condition is generally very decent, with slight scuffs or bends.  (Some look nearly new!)
A few are more hurt, but that's uncommon.  All pages are intact, regardless.

Such books have been sold on eBay, regularly fetching 40-45% of retail.
Thus, you've a chance to double your $, or distribute them as gifts.

I will sell them at the below prices, but only in quantity, plus shipping.
What I have in mind is the medium-size Priority Mail box, filled up.
This is now confirmed to contain 38 Y&P or 32 BP.
(You can mix these titles per carton, such as half-and-half.)

S&H per Priority Mail carton is $12.
Terms:  cash with order.

Here's what I've counted up so far:

________________

You & The Police!   $3.00   quantity:  about 150
(all are the 1996 edition, which is 90% good enough for most readers)
These have the cartoons by Carrol O. Murphy, which I hadn't room for in the 2005 edition.


Bulletproof Privacy  $3.20   quantity:  about 120
(mostly the 2004 reprinting, a few are signed)

__________________________


The Y&P at just $3@ is an especially great deal.
They could be resold on college campuses, for example, or handed out.

Any of y'all interested in this?

Thanks,
Boston

P.S.  I can't sign any of these, as they're away from me, and besides
it's too much extra work for the bargain price!

Safari Dreams and Hologram of Liberty are no longer available in this deal.
Thanks Ellorion and wyomingmiles for buying them out.

Thanks, Miles, sold.
See PM w/i a few days, after I count them to confirm.
Meanwhile, I've removed them from this thread, as you've spoken for them.

I'll take the Safari dreams books, and finish filling up the box with a 50/50 mix of the other two.

Would have liked to get one of the Safari, but it looks like they are all taken?

Thanks, Ellorion, I'll PM you with the final mix of your order.
Meanwhile, all 10 of those SDs are yours, and I'll remove them from the thread.

Thanks for the past three orders, which were sent out this week.

All I've left are Y&P and BP, about 100 each.
If somebody wants them all, I'll go just $2@, plus shipping.

Thanks to all who've ordered so far.
OK, here is the latest and final inventory after scouring the warehouse.
This will exhaust all old YP and BP

________________

You & The Police!   $3.00  quantity:  80
(all are the 1996 edition, which is 90% good enough for most readers)
These have the cartoons by Carrol O. Murphy, which I hadn't room for in the 2005 edition.


Bulletproof Privacy  $3.20   quantity:  112
(mostly the 2004 reprinting)


Boston's Gun Bible   $6.00   quantity:  7
(pre-2009 printings)

__________________________


If somebody steps up for them all, I'll go $425, plus shipping.
That's $2@ on YP and BP (plus the BGBs). 
Great profit potential to resell at up to 4x cost!

Offer good until Sunday midnight, then I'll part them out if necessary.
