Hey folks -- I put up a couple of books on eBay, and realized I should've offered 'em up here first. I've got a really nice s/n War All the Time up for $395/obo. I picked this up from Bill a year or so ago, but then lucked into a copy with a painting so am letting this fellow go. Happy to take...

I know there have been some good discussion on forgeries and such, as it pertains to certain signed Buk/Fante items, but I'm curious if there is any actual legal recourse for people posting legitimately fraudulent items. I'd think it falls under the category of 'mail fraud', which carries a...

Somebody's selling off a signed 1990 BSP New Year's greeting (paperback not even limited) for $2500. Cheeeeessssus K. Rist!?!? http://www.ebay.com/itm/261019482484?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_898

Hey all -- I hope this isn't terribly gauche of me, but I'm offering up the copy of War All the Time I bought from Bill last year. It's in really, really nice shape, #200 out of 400. I'm only asking what I paid, $350. Comparable copies on Abe run ~$450, so not a bad deal. If I don't get any...

Was poking on eBay and saw this pop up as a new listing : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150757677468&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123#ht_500wt_932 So I picked it up. It seems like the real deal, and at $400 is a steal. If so, I may be re-selling that signed War All...

No takers on the Factotum I mentioned last week so I put it up on eBay and thought I'd pimp them a little bit here. Beside the Factotum, I've listed a signed Pulp w/print (of 300), and a signed first trade of War All the Time. These all end tomorrow around noon (MST). Feel free to ask any...

A 13th print for a mere $545. Crikes, WTF are they thinking?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380354726563#ht_5788wt_1008 Seems to be the first HC of Women w/Martin's changes in what Krumhansl (and Morrow) says is an edition of 354, not 500 as indicated in the colophon. I don't think I'm crazy to think that I got a pretty good deal...

I'm going to put this up online next week if nobody here is interested. I've had it in the shop for a while at $400, which I think is a pretty fair price. ABE has a signed #/250 for $1750 (though that IS James Cahill who always goes to the highest end of pricing, it seems), eBay has a signed...

Recently -- driven by the glacial pace at which my PBA book are coming and a wife who's out of commission with knee surgery -- I've been playing a little 'best guess buying'. While I'm happy to buy books on eBay, at other auction houses, from ABE, from known dealers and so forth, one of the...

Last night thumbing through my books I landed on (how nerdy is this) the copywrite page of my 80's softcover BSP copy of Post Office. When I read that it was the 38th printing from 1989 a lightbulb went off over my head. My hardcover copy of Post Office is a fortieth printing from 1991 and I'd...

My wife had a wee little accident skiing and so I'm driving her around. This includes bringing her up to Boulder where she's working on one of them fancy PhDs. I'm a dropout myself, so I decided to hole up in a new book/coffee shop here, and it seems like some folks in this forum who do small...

Here in Colorado, we have this yahoo named Ken Buck running for Senate. And while I'm not a fan, I almost considered switching parties when I saw his sign driving down the road: I did a double take at first thinking that someone, fed up with politics, decided to nominate a dead cranky...

Hey team -- So, I've been doing screenprinting for a bunch of years now, and have fooled around with some basic block printing and other 'crafty' type stuff. But I'm interested in getting into big-league printing because a) I own a used bookshop, so will have at least one venue to sell...

Well, after a couple disappointing misses on eBay (ordering the HC, getting the SC, etc. etc.) I struck a little gold with a nice first PB of Post Office. It's an ex-lib, and has a grungy cover, but given that's it's a 40 year old book, I'm pretty pleased. Also, I got a good deal, so win all the...

Hey all -- newbie here -- I have a 'presentation copy' of Septuagenarian Stew, and I'm hoping someone can help clue me in on the deal with those. I've checked out the Collecting Bukowski site, which has great info on print runs of 1st, signed, lettered, etc., but don't know how to determine...

Hey all -- Seems like the proper thing to do to say hallo before going crazy all over the boards. I've been lurking for a while now to get a feel of things.... Anyhoo -- I live in Denver, CO, originally from upstate NY. I co-own a little used bookshop here -- Kilgore Books -- and I've...
