I invite you to check my eBay profile page regularly as I add more books to my auctions. I have many brand new books and books in Very Good condition. Many have very low minimum bids of only 99 cents. I can sell my books for less because I rescued many of them from a future of rotting away in one of our overfilled landfills in order to put them in the hands of people who appreciate them.
