As I mention on the home page, this site is primarily about selling off my old books, videos and other paraphernalia. I had some time, I had the idea, I had a design floating around my head and, more importantly, the webspace and a domain name lying around (originally I was going to build a free advertising service like FreeAds or Craig's List). The site is designed primarily to allow me to list my stuff for sale, but if you have any items in a similar vein you would like to sell, drop me a line and I'll be happy to include them completely free, no costs, no commission.
For the more technical amongst you, the site is built using XHTML, CSS and PHP. It pulls the data from a MySQL database.
I think most of what I have to say is or has been said on my personal site: The Digerati Peninsula.
If you experience any problems with the site, get in touch and I will do my best to sort them. Please remember that this is not a commercial site, what you buy you buy as described. For listings by other people (should there ever be any), please note that I bear no responsibility for the state of the product nor the service they provide.
The scale by which the condition of an item is judged.
- Excellent: As new condition, barely marked, if at all.
- Good: Slight marks, signs that it has been read.
- Normal: Well used, but looked after.
- Poor: Usable, but only just.
The primary form for taking payments on this site is NOCHEX. This is for two reasons: lower costs than PayPal and the ability for people to buy without signing up. If you would like to pay by another means, drop me a line and we'll try and arrange something (offline payments by cheque for example).
Incidently, prices aren't hard and fast, I'm happy to negotiate, or if you have a book you think I'd like, I may even consider a trade.
Postage rates are all calculated at standard Royal Mail Second Class postage or Standard Parcel rates. These are calculated on indvidual items, but there are some example rates below. Prices are for the UK, for European and International prices, please get in touch and I'll give you a price.
