For Sale- Books from the Bob White collection

[JordanB]

I helped my dear friend Bob White move some things this afternoon. He is consolidating some space and gave me several books from his collection and asked me to list them on his behalf. Please email, call, or text if you have questions or would like pictures. These prices are inclusive of shipping. I tried to do some research to establish a fair price, but feel free to contact me with a counteroffer if you are interested.
If these don’t sell I will eventually list them on eBay.

Everything has been sold. Thanks

Most of these were just listed for sale on the Second Deal forum, with a time stamp of 59 minutes ago.

What gives?

Van McGee is a longtime friend of mine. I saw him Monday evening and he asked if I minded if he copied and pasted this ad on the second deal. I told him that would be great.

I received a phone call this morning from a single buyer (a friend of mine and Bob White) that wanted to purchase all the books. I agreed and told him I would post on Genii and Magjc Cafe that the items were no longer available.

I forgot to tell Van. I will give him a text in the morning. I would post over there, but am not a member.

[Bill Mullins]

Thanks for the reply and explanation.

I just posted a follow-up to Van's post at the Second Deal, repeating what you said above and linking back here to your post.
