eBay My World: dragoman0( 1369)

I am not a professional book dealer but I try to maintain professional standards. All my books are priced to sell,usually starting under £5 and never with a reserve. I believe if I describe a book properly my customers are happy to bid a fair price.

Books on Africa, India, Central Asia, big game hunting, shooting, travel, etc.

English

Africa; biography of the continent By John Reader, The Scramble for Africa By Thomas Pakenham, Safari by Bartle Bull, Tournament of shadows by Myer & Brysac

I sell books to fund my own collection so am happy to answer any questions athough I don't claim to be an expert. I have a proper job i.e. boring, so cannot always answer straight away but will usually get back to you within 24 hrs. (Unless you are asking me to scan a book for you as you can't afford to bid! It does happen and you will be ignored.). I have another ebay ID for selling my junk so you will only find good stuff listed on this ID so please check my other items. Thurday is my main listing day with auctions finishing on Sunday evenings.

I'm just happy to get paid. Ebay push paypal but cheque are fine from UK buyers, if your feedback looks ok I will usually post on reciept of the cheque. I'm also happy to accept c@sh but ebay do not allow me to say this. Overseas buyers Paypal is the easiest but if you contact me before bidding I am willing to consider other methods.

Books will be well packed usually in a Jiffy bag with double layer of bubble wrap. This is covered by 30/40p on top of cost of postage depending on size. I always retain proof of postage so you are covered for loss of book up to £34.

I'm not perfect and old books rarely are so if you are not happy with the book you recieve please contact me and I will sort it out.

I photograph my books, not scan, as this can cause damage. However this can cause flare on the photos from the flash, it also causes the boards to appear slightly bowed due to the distorting effect of the lens focal length. I uses the book sellers grading to describe the condition of books, from reading copy to fine, and note faults. I only use the terms 'rare' and 'scarce' when that is what a book is. Maps and plates are checked to make sure they are present.
