    Hi
    I have several items for sale/trade. They are 8 volumes of 'History of the second world war', They seem to be collected then put in binders. Also have several books & vids. Was going to put them on Ebay, but if someone is interested on this forum, please contact me...
    Cheers.

    Hello, Ypres! ;)

    I think I'd be interested too. I'd like the photo as well and some description of the contents, please.

    I'm interested because I own several WWII encyclopædias but none is in English —except for Churchill's seven-volume "The second world war".

    I've own the Time Life series, a Mexican three-volume publications, a Spanish three-volume one and finally, an Argentinian twelve-volume one and Sir Basil Liddel-Hart's two-volume one. And there are two Spanish-translated collections of great battles in History —5 and 12 volumes respectively— and of the I and II world wars —5 volumes each. Quite good, actually.

    They're quite precise and help you with quick researchs. ;) I love them! B)

    Hi
    Yes,, everything you see in pic, plus a couple other videos I missed out.
    Wanted around £30 for lot, but bear in mind these items are VERY heavy.....
    Due to put them on Ebay on Mon 8th March, if not sold before then...
    Thank you..
    :D

    OK. £30 for all, plus "shipping and handling", which would be how much for Mexico City? :huh:

    You will have to leave that one with me. I will get them weighed and costed, and will come back over the next day or so with final price, if you're interested..
    :rolleyes:

    Would I ask if I was not interested? :rolleyes:

    In fact I could be teasing you... :P But I'm not. B)

    Hi Friedrich
    Had them weighed today, told it was going to cost £15.89, told them I wanted to send a parcel, not buy the country :lol:
    It would be cheaper if you came and got them... ;)
    Anyhoo, I will leave it up to you, but personally I think its a little expensive....

    Always interested in the Pan-Ballantine books from the late 60s, early 70s, but my 'wants' list is narrowing - assuming I have a complete list of those issued!

    OK, Ypres. ;)

    So it's £ 30 of the books plus £ 15,89 for the shipping, totallising £ 45,89. Not such a bad price, I think. Considering that Amazon's shipping charges are similar.

    Would you mind sending me a PM with a detailed description of the issues, a list of them and the way I could pay, please? ;)
