Summary of Considerations:
Thank you for looking at my listing.  I am happy to have the book you are looking for.  I wish we lived close enough to discuss the book once you have read it.
Please note, I cannot compete with the large sellers that potentially get their inventory for free and have volume listing and shipping discounts.  My prices may be a bit more than the absolutely lowest priced listing but please consider the following when making your decision for to purchase from me:
The items I am listing are from my personal collection.  I have been careful with them when I read them and maintained them in a glass-enclosed bookshelf, in a clean, dry, smoke-free, animal-free environment.
I don' use stock photos of the book.  I personally inspect and photograph each item and the book in the photo is the exact one you will receive.  Please look at the photos carefully.  If you need additional photographs let me know.
I ship the next day and some times the same day if the order comes in early enough.  You will be updated via eBay regarding the shipping status.  Each book is shipped with a tracking number.
I try to accurately describe each item and point out any defects, marks, or writing in the book.  I may occasionally miss one.   I usually rate my books one grade lower than the grading system used by eBay.  (If the book seems to be very good, I list it as good.)  I do this to hopefully exceed your expectations when you receive the book.  Grading a book has some subjectivity to it.
I price most of my books to include shipping. There is no such thing as "Free Shipping".  I ship most books via USPS media mail wrapped in thick paper.  If you want the book shipped to arrive faster, please inquire.  I will revise the listing to reflect the requested method of shipment.  If you want the book shipping internationally, I suggest you use eBay's Global Shipping method.  I don't know exactly how it works, but the International buyers I have sold to that used it paid much less than if I shipped it using traditional International shipping methods.
I need to pay a Final Value Fee on the shipping, therefore I need to charge a bit more so I don't lose money each time I sell a book and pay a Final Value Fee on the book and the price of shipping.  I don't have the volume shipping discount big sellers get.  My volume of sales is very small.  My margin of profit is even smaller.  My only advantage is honesty, attention to detail,  and customer service that exceeds expectations of those who buy from me.
Returns
are accepted for 14 days after receiving the book.  If you want to return the book, please let me know.  I must request that you pay for the shipping to return the book.  Once it is received, I will refund your purchase.  To date, I have not had a book returned.  I strive to accurately describe and photograph the book so there are no surprises when it arrives.  I too have bought books on eBay from a stock photo and inaccurate or marginal description and know how it feels to get something that was less than I expected.
My goal is to be fair and honest.  I want you to be so happy with your purchase that, if I had another book you were interested in purchasing, you would not think twice to buy from me again or recommend me to a friend.  That is why I take great care when preparing my listings and when I prepare the book for shipment.  I am preparing it in a way that would satisfy me if I was the one receiving the purchase.
I will leave you positive feedback
.  If you think the customer service and product I provided you warrants it, please consider leaving me feedback that reflects our transaction.
Sales tax
is collected by eBay in accordance with each State's laws.  I never see it.  It's automatically deducted.
