I paid Mr. Parker for a lot of Alternity RPG books. After almost a month following payment, i still haven't heard back from him.

theeagle82 wrote:Hello Boblins,
Sorry about the delay in the message, i figured it was a dead topic and was forgotten, and haven't checked in in a while.
I would like the entire lot, if their still available.
First though, while i don't need showroom quality, are all of the books in decent condition? (IE: all pages there, bindings now falling apart, etc. Even if their taped together, its fine, i'd just like to know.)
Thanks for responding, and if you could get just a general quality for the lot i'll whip up an offer and shoot it over.
Thanks,
~Allen
Boblins wrote:that is alright. I completely understand.
To answer your question, all the pages are all there. I took very good care of them. I got them a few years ago, when my roommate and I were playing the game. We played for a little bit before I left and moved to Texas. So there isn't much use on them at all. For the last 3-4 years, they have sat in storage which is why when I looked at the RPG thread and saw it, it took me a couple of days to see if I indeed have the system you were looking for. And behold, I did.First though, while i don't need showroom quality, are all of the books in decent condition? (IE: all pages there, bindings now falling apart, etc. Even if their taped together, its fine, i'd just like to know.)
Now while sitting in storage, one of the storage units was just a metal box so they got a little hot. Due to that situation, a few of the books, got overheated and on the very edge of the pages they have suck together. Very easy to seperate with no damage at all. However, a few of the books decided to stick together so you have 2 books with some cover damage. I hope that is alright. No damage to the words or anything like that. I will be honest up front about the condition.\
All the campaign setting books and the players handbook which are hardback are in NM condition. 1/2 the other books are also in NM. Starships & Dataware are the worst books in the lot to be honest. System Guide to Aegis (with the map) is in NM/EX. A few pages look a little out of NM status but otherwise in NM (for this I would like to receive full value because of how hard it is to get the map in the book used).
Thanks again,
Bob
Boblins wrote:I priced the whole lot on amazon doing a medium price of the used books. You cane do your own look but it is 340. For the lot how about 250 that is a little less than 75% of the value?
theeagle82 wrote:I did actually price them out on Amazon. The low end comes out to $252. Thats the bargain basement of amazon's price, so your $250 is a pretty good deal.
Unfortunately, at the moment, i dont have that to spare in one shot.
Let me get back to you.

Boblins wrote:sorry about the delay... I've been sick the last few days so I haven't been on lately.
I would like to sell as a lot... how about $220 including shipping for the whole lot instead of the $250... you probably have a group of players who want to play that game so you have something for them to use right. what do you think about that?

Would you mind waiting until my tax refund comes in? After that i could pay via paypal or a USPS money order, whichever is easier for you.
Just let me know if that works for you.
Thanks,
~Allen
Boblins wrote:yes that is correct...
and I'll hold onto them for you with your name on them. I would appreciate a USPS money order if that is alright
just let me know when you are ready
theeagle82 wrote:Hello Boblins,

Its been 2 weeks since you've gotten the money order, i've still received no information about if the books have shipped, or received the book.
If you've hit a snag that has prevented shipping, just tell me, otherwise i'll have to start a bad trader thread, and contact the following:
