10/15/09: Sale is closed. The man from the used bookstore is coming tomorrow, and I can’t keep these around any longer.

So … under duress, you understand, and no reflection at all on the quality of these books … Some knitting books for sale. Almost all the books are in pristine condition. This is a smoke-free home, as you know, although there could be some dog fur involved–Chappy works hard at that–but all the books are kept in my closet, so they’re as clean and perfect as I can possibly make them.

Except for two groups, I’m offering them one by one, though that means the price is higher per book because of the postage. (Sorry about that) Be sure to read the rules at the end!

The rules? The price for U.S. Book Rate postage is included. If you’re outside the U.S., additional postal costs may apply. Payment will be accepted via Paypal, though if you’re local, cash works, too (grin). The first person to claim and pay for each book is the lucky person who gets it. I’m pretty sure I have packaging available for each group, so it shouldn’t take me too long to get things in the mail–no more than a week (although, come to think of it, I need to buy stamps). Please ask questions if you have them! (Note that while I can check basic email from work, I’m limited in what I can do from my desk at the office, so I’ll trust the comments to keep things in sequence for me.)

Most important? If you’re interested, YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT ON THIS POST! Emails, posts on Ravelry, instant messages, phone calls … none of those count. If it’s not in the comments, it’s like it never happened. It’s the only way to tell whose request comes in first (if more than one of you want the same book).
