[CLOSED] PCH Under Copies Redux 0

[Black Bat]

Time to get rid of a few under copies.  I know this is a discerning crowd, but I'll post these here before moving to the Bay.  I’ll be listing 8 books tonight, then leaving the office for the evening, so won’t be getting back to PMs or questions probably till tonight or tomorrow morning.  But be advised, I hate selling these even if they are under copies, so don’t expect much negotiating. 

I don't grade my books, but my descriptions and photos are extensive. However, although these are all lower grade, I always try to buy books with covers that are well centered and have no pieces missing, so there’s that…

Terms:
First “take” in the thread takes the book. If we work out a sale via PM, you must post a “take” in the thread. If someone posts a “take” while we’re working out a sale, the first “take” in the thread still gets the book.

Payment:
Venmo is my preferred payment method, but I will accept PayPal or checks. 
Checks must clear before shipping.
I will invoice you after the thread closes.
I must receive payment within three days of my invoice, or your order will be cancelled.
If you want me to invoice you via email- PM me.

Shipping:
Shipping is $12 USPS priority. Multiple books will be added at no extra charge.
USA shipping only, sorry no international orders.
I ship once a week, usually on Saturday.
I will contact you with a tracking number after I ship.

Returns: 
I am probably overly detailed in my descriptions so I don’t accept returns unless there’s an egregious (my judgment- but I’m a fair guy) defect that I overlooked, in which case I’ll refund your money plus shipping, but you must contact me within a week of receiving your book.  

Man, these things are hard to let go of!  No matter how many copies I have, or how low grade they may be, each one is like precious or something.
