All these books can be yours!

[the_andy]

As you no doubt have heard us complain, we are moving soon. So we finally have done the long promised big purge of our bookshelves. Now, who wants something?

The terms:
You pay shipping. This is our one non-negotiable.
Hard covers are $5
Trade paperbacks are $2
Paperbacks are $1
Comics are free with shipping
I think there is only one book listed with a note that it's rare that we'd probably want more for (haven't bothered to get off my ass and look it up though), but you're free to make an offer on anything else.

Deadline: we need to hear from you before noon (Pacific Time) on Thursday 6/19.

Shipping: books will not be shipped until the first week of July (we have little stuff like a vacation and moving coming up).
Pickup is available for Seattle locals and anyone who can meet with wrdnrd when she's in Portland for OSBridge.

This is about 2/5ths of the books we have, but I limited it to the stuff I thought was most likely to move. If any of you want old bibles, comics in Japanese,wrdnrd's various collections of lit from college, or, *shudder*, Hawthorn, let me know and I'll catalog more.

The spreadsheet is a google doc because that was easier for me.

Hope you see something you like and feel free to direct other people here. Get this stuff out of our house!

Edited to Add:
We got a couple board games to get rid of as well, make an offer.
Mind Trap (IIRC this was a bunch of lateral thinking puzzle questions mostly)
Risk (the retro old school version in a wood box)
Vegas Showdown (original printing)
Axis and Allies (fuck if I know which version, there are so many. it has a blue box)
Classic Bingo

Clarification necessary for my ego: What's listed on the spreadsheet is about 2/5ths of what we're getting rid of. We have way, way more books left on our shelves. GOD, i wish i could have pruned quite a few more. I won't be surprised if i prune again as i'm pulling things out of boxes and thinking about whether i really want them on our bookshelves.

:P

Heck, if anyone out there knows of a book of ours that you want, make an offer. I don't care if it's on the shelves, if you want it more than me I will give it up.

Risk? Risk?!? in a wooden box? That is only the game that my youngest *always* wants to play that we dislike only slightly less than Monopoly!!

(Are the infantry still plastic?)

[the_andy]

I am pretty sure the pieces are wood, though the trays inside the box are plastic.

This was part of a nostalgia series Hasbro did about 10 years back.

I think we would love to take this off of your hands!! What shall I send you for game, shipping and handling?!?

[the_andy]

Hmmmm, I didn't actually think that far ahead. Does $20 for the game and $10 for shipping sound fair?

[maladroit]

Absolutely! Send to current address?

[the_andy]

Works for me

[wrdnrd]

I have set it aside with your name on it! We'll get things shipped in the 1st week of July. I'm so glad this is going to a good home!!

[maladroit]

We'll certainly think of you guys every time Sydney beats us at it (she has quite the head for strategy, I think)!
