Books and DVDs for Sale on eBay (for a worthy cause)

[FOML_Bruce]

Greetings,

In addition to being a long-time lurker on the Genii forum (despite not being a magician), I am a volunteer with a nonprofit group: The Friends of the Marina Library. We raise money to buy materials and fund programs to enrich our local branch of the Monterey, California county library system.

A few months ago, we received a large donation of magic books and videos and, as someone with an interest in magic, I’ve taken on the task of shepherding the sales of these materials. (It's, in our experience, an unusual donation because many of the items are still in their original shrink wrap, most seem to be unread or unviewed...although a few seem to have been mildly chewed...)

Except for one item, which will be auctioned in the near future, these are for straight sale. Our goal is to create win/win, where you get a good price and we benefit our community.

You can see photos and more information in our eBay listings:

Prices here do not include shipping, nor taxes if applicable. If you're near Monterey, you can pick them up directly.
