repost (final)
I figured I'd post this again, now that Christmas is over and stuff.

at the request of a couple of people in my last post, here's a list of all the books/CDs/DVDs (even a couple of VHS tapes) that I'm trying to sell. anyone who's interested, please comment with the items you'd like, preferred payment method and email address and we can make arrangements, or if you'd rather meet someplace instead of having me ship the items, we can discuss that too. and I'll strike out items as they become spoken for.


all of these items are in near-perfect condition (example: books have either never been read or only read once, and I take care of my books) unless otherwised noted. let's say $5 for hardcovers, $4 for trade paperbacks, $3 for mass market paperbacks and CDs/DVDs, and a buck for VHS, plus shipping (I'll ship 'em USPS any way you want, and calculate shipping based on the weight and your zip code. I won't screw you, I promise). my preferred payment method is paypal because then I can just invoice you for the total (which we'll go into in the details), but I'll definitely consider other options.

okay, here we go. in no particular order...and of course, summaries can be found on your favorite book/media seller's site, or if you can't find it, just ask and I'll provide it for you.
