Autobus Prime Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Folks: Hi ho, Apple users. I have a few Apple programming guidebooks which I am putting up on Ebay. Some are already up, some more are going up today/this week. I play around with TI and Commodore, but not Apple, so I don't have a whole lot of use for them, though they are great books. Putting most of them up for around $10. Not really trying to make bank on these, just picking up a little cash for a few toys Santa seemingly forgot to bring. ^_^ I also have a random Tandy 1400HD power supply and a Vtech LCD Talking Baseball game up. Tandy PS is tested and working, but having no Tandy 1400HD, etc etc. Talking Baseball is ubercheese but the voice cracks me up.

Autobus Prime Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Can you ship a book by media mail for much much less? I was like, BAH BOOKS, then I saw that Nibble Assembly language book and dangit, I want that! ian: Yeah, there are books and there are BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS nom nom nom. If TI or C64, these wouldn't be going up. Media mail is pretty cheap for these. About $3 each I think. Frankly, for the few dollars more, I would usually go with Priority Mail to avoid delays. I do offer Media Mail in case anybody really enjoys the "anticipation". (Also, media mail isn't sealed against postal inspection. USPS wants to enforce their requirements for the lower rate, and if Big Brother benefits from knowing what people are reading, well, ha ha, we never thought of that, but now that you mention it...*innocent whistle*...the point is, there is somewhat greater chance that Media Mail will get opened and inspected, than there is for Priority Mail. Apple manuals aren't exactly contraband, but frankly I like to seal my packages like they were going to the MOON, and I don't know if I trust the postal inspectors to take the same care when resealing. Still, for a book, the major issue here, again, is the delay.) Edited January 2, 2014 by Autobus Prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I like Media. I don't care if they open my package with a book in it. I'm not paranoid. Most of my buyers love Media offerings since it's so cheap and few care about the delay or risk of inspection. It's a risk I take that seems to be worthwhile for the appropriate materials. Books being appropriate. Cool! Hope to bid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
