There maybe multiple books/mags pictured in the photo attached, this auction is only for the one book/mag described in the next paragraph. For the other books/mags, check my other auctions. I will combine shipping.

*COMMUNICATION/PAYMENT OPTIONS:
If you have any questions regarding the item's description, or if you
would like to see additional photos of the item, information about
shipping options (domestic and foreign), or combined shipping costs,
please contact me through ebay's e-mail system. Payment must be made
within 5 days from auction end - FAILURE TO MAKE TIMELY PAYMENT MAY
RESULT IN NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK (and if you think I care about
retaliatory feedback threats, think again), so if there is going to be
a delay in payment (you are sick, went out of town unexpectedly, had a
financial emergency, paypal is taking extra time to establish your
account, etc. THEN PLEASE E-MAIL ME, AS I ACCEPT MOST ANY EXCUSE BUT SILENCE).
I always leave feedback at the time payment is made. I don't believe
in the game that many sellers have had to resort to (thanks to ebay's
rather unfair feedback policy that forces sellers to spend money or go
to court to have feedback removed) of only leaving feedback after the
buyer has left feedback (and as a result my overall feedback percentage
has suffered for it, but my overall positive feedback numbers speak for
themselves).
RETURN POLICY: All items are sold as-is, which is why I try to
provide a fairly detailed description of the item itself (i.e. what it
is and what it is not) as well its specific condition, noting any
significant defects (for collectible items). Overall grades are
sometimes provided in the posting (but as many book buyers know, book
grading standards/categories very widely from seller to seller, so
please do not rely solely on the grade that I have given a book without
considering the specific condition/defects noted for that particular
book). Note - I don't believe in FINE/FINE category (since any item
after it has been sold by the original book retailer is, by definition,
no longer a "new" book and therefore can't be FINE/FINE, so N-FINE is
the highest grade used). So, if you have some concern about an item or
want additional information, then please e-mail me before the close of
the auction. I do, on rare occasion, miss a significant defect in an
item, and for collectible items, if that happens, on a case-by-case
basis I do issue a full refund (including the cost of return shipping)
depending upon the significance of the undisclosed defect.
I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WON (if you would like
estimates of what combined shipping costs might be for a certain group
of auctions, please e-mail me before the auctions close). Auctions
can only be combined within 5 days of the closing of the first item
that you won. IF YOU WIN AN AUCTION AND ARE BIDDING ON MORE ITEMS
(that close within 5 days), PLEASE IGNORE ANY INVOICES SENT TO YOU AND
ONLY PAY THE FINAL LAST COMBINED INVOICE YOU RECEIVE (in other words,
please do not make multiple payments when combining auctions). Also,
if you are delaying payment because of auctions that are ending later,
if you could drop me an e-mail indicating that you are bidding on other
auctions that would be most appreciated.
For U.S. and Overseas Buyers, payment can be made via paypal.
PAYPAL IS MY PREFERRED PAYMENT OPTION SINCE IT TAKES 5-7 DAYS FOR
PAYMENT TO ARRIVE TO ME VIA U.S. MAIL AND IT TAKES 7-10 DAYS FOR
PAYMENT TO ARRIVE IN THE MAIL FROM OVERSEAS. For overseas buyers,
Paypal can now take payments in most foreign currencies that
automatically converts to U.S. dollars, and Paypal can take both credit
card and direct bank account credit/debit transactions.
SHIPPING TIME:
I usually try to ship within 2 business days of receipt of the cleared
payment (so if paying via e-check through paypal, the package is not
mailed until after the e-check clears through paypal). The following
are AVERAGE times via the U.S. Post office (I don't guarantee these
times once the package is in the hands of the U.S. Post Office, so if
the item is time sensitive, you might want to ask me about
overnight/express mail shipping costs). NOTE - DUE TO EBAY'S CHANGES
IN SHIPPING COST POLICIES FOR BOOKS (I.E. MAXIMUM SHIPPING COST FOR ANY
ONE BOOK IS $4.00 UNLESS SHIPPING COST IS ESTIMATED USING THE SHIPPING
CALCULATOR), THE FIRST SHIPPING OPTION LISTED IS ALWAYS MEDIA MAIL. IF
YOU WANT PRIORITY OR FIRST CLASS MAIL, CLICK ON THE BLUE 'OTHER
SHIPPING OPTIONS' LINK ON THE INVOICE PAGE DIRECTLY UNDER THE QUOTED
PRICE FOR MEDIA MAIL, AND THE INVOICE PAGE WILL THEN SHOW A 2ND
SHIPPING OPTION RATE FOR PRIORITY/FIRST CLASS MAIL.
To 50 States/U.S. Territories/APO Addresses - From Alaska,
Priority Mail usually takes 3-5 days, 1st Class Mail usually takes 5-7
days, and MEDIA MAIL USUALLY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS (MEDIA MAIL ALMOST NEVER
ARRIVES EARLIER THAN 3 WEEKS FROM ALASKA, SO PLEASE DO NOT E-MAIL ME
ASKING WHERE THE PACKAGE IS UNTIL 4 WEEKS HAVE PASSED, AS MEDIA MAIL
GOES FROM ALASKA BY SLOW MOVING BARGE TO SEATTLE). AGAIN, IF YOU CAN'T
WAIT 3-4 WEEKS THAT MEDIA MAIL ROUTINELY TAKES FROM ALASKA, THEN I
WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST PRIORITY MAIL.
To Canada/Mexico/Overseas: Priority Mail International (Flat
rate) usually takes 7-10 days and First Class Mail International (by
weight) usually takes 10-14 days. Sometimes the times are longer,
depending how far away the country is from Alaska.
SHIPPING & HANDLING CHARGES:
Shipping charges/options (both U.S. and domestic) are provided below.
If no charge is listed below for overseas shipping costs, its because
the item is too large/heavy to be mailed via Priority Mail
International Flat Rate, and the item will have to go by overseas mail
by weight (if you want to know the cost before the auction closes -
please e-mail me with your location). Insurance is always OPTIONAL,
but once the item has left my hands I am no longer responsible for what
the post office does - so if this is a concern, I would recommend that
you purchase insurance. I don't normally list insurance costs for
overseas shipping (as I normally undervalue the item on the customs
form to prevent the buyer from having to incur import taxes/customs
charges); however if you would like insurance, please e-mail me and I
will add that to the invoice (just be aware that the full value of the
item has to be declared on the custom's form if it is insured). Items
are now always sent with delivery confirmation which is included in the
shipping costs (NOTE - DELIVERY CONFIRMATION IS NOT TRACKING - AND I
PRINT MY SHIPPING LABELS AT HOME SO THE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION NUMBER
WILL OFTEN NOT SHOW ANYTHING UNTIL THE PACKAGE REACHES THE BUYER AS THE
POST OFFICE RARELY SCANS IN THE DELIVERY CONFIRMATION NUMBER ON
SHIPPING LABELS PRINTED AT HOME); Priority Mail International Flat rate
also has some form of tracking number on the packaging which can be
provided at the buyer's request - although I don't know how accurate
the tracking is once the item leaves the U.S.). PER EBAY'S STATED
EXCESSIVE SHIPPING POLICY, I DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE SHIPPING CHARGES -
I do not charge extra an for packaging materials (which I reuse), I do
not charge extra for handling time of preparing the item to mail or the
time to go to the post office, or the gas to go to the post office, and
I do not charge extra shipping in an attempt to defraud Ebay out of its
closing value fees, or to obtain more for the item from the buyer
through disguised shipping costs.
