Hello all... I am selling some books and publications listed below.

 

I will keep them here for a week or so as one lot, and see if anyone pulls the trigger, after which I may give them a go on ebay. If they don't go as one lot, then I will start flogging them individually.... But not now.

 

The asking price for the individual publications below adds up to just under $5,000, but if someone wants to buy the whole lot, I will drop the price by about $1,500 to $3,500.

 

I will carefully consider serious offers too... PM only please...

 

All books are located in, and will ship from, Florida, USA.

 

Cheers!

Hello all... Happy New Year.

 

Getting on for a year an a half since I posted this sale and have now had a minute to look at this again!

 

I have not sold any of these books.... been far too busy with business... Will sell individually.

 

Am now back in Florida for a week and have left all of these with my assistant at my S. Florida office while I head off travelling again.

 

Please email Claire if you want to buy anything. (They are gumming up her office so she wants them gone!)

 

***additional there is a pile of To-Ron Northern California Newsletters that will be included with the Florida Token Kai lot.

 

Anything left at the end of January will go on ebay.

 

Cheers

Hi Sencho. I have some financial commitments to get out of the way but if still available in about 4 or 5 weeks I would like to purchase atleast a couple of your books. All the best.

I just heard from Claire that she has reached an agreed price with one person for all the books.

 

Therefore the sale is currently on hold while this goes through. Thanks for the other emails and apologies if you have not been replied to yet.

 

If for some reason the sale is not completed, Claire will be in touch.

 

Regards

Nigel.

That's a shame, those gendi books would have been a perfect start, but a perfectly understandable position. Please keep me in mind if the deal doesn't go through.
