About Owen Box Disposals (OBD)
PRIVATE LIBRARY SALES: the on-line periodic disposal of my personal possessions; specifically, mostly long held previously owned books, both used and unused, acquired over a lifetime purely for my enjoyment. As a merely part-time and strictly non-professional, non trade, non-business seller this retired private individual is, for reasons of age and infirmity, reluctantly disposing, on-line only, of some selected individual titles. These items will all have been carefully selected from a very large domestic private library accumulated for purely personal enjoyment over the years through inheritance, gift and purchase. This library, comprising mainly of out of print, non-fiction hardback books in a variety of specialist areas both academic and non-academic and in the furtherance of domestic downsizing, is the subject of periodic culling by recycling clearances and charity donations as well as here by selective on-line sales. DISCLAIMER: I have no retail premises or web site and do not attend book fairs etc. I am merely selling off privately some selected books, on-line only from home, through AbeBooks as my intermediary; I can neither accept direct orders nor accept credit card or PayPal payments. As I do not buy books in order to sell on and never have I am not in the book trade as such and have no membership of any trade association. Rather than being a book dealer I am merely a part-time, non-trading seller who, of necessity, is running down their own far too extensive private library. Therefore offers from the public or trade of books for me to purchase, whether on or off-line, other than very occasionally for my personal use, are neither solicited nor accepted. As a private seller I regret that no trade discounts are available. I sell only through the post and cannot accept personal calls. I cannot normally offer multiple or repeated listings of the same title. A small minority of listed 'New' books have been gifted to me for my enjoyment but remain unused; other 'As New' listings are still apparently unused. However, none of my listings, regardless of whether pre-owned, new, used or unused, will have ever been originally acquired by me, with the intention of later selling on in order to realise a financial profit, from any publisher, wholesaler, distributor, retailer, dealer or private individual, whether on or off-line.
