I have a number of caving books for sale. They are duplicates from my collection and I need to clear some space quickly. They are all well used but in fair to good condition. Hardback editions have sleeves with minor creases and curls. Some of the books have inscriptions on the inside page.

Best offer above ?25 by 18th April Sunday midnight please together with a suggested delivery mechanism. Buyer will need to take into account the extra delivery cost, which may be in the region of ?15 (the books weigh 5.8 kilo). However, I am in Settle from 19th to 22nd next week, so can use cavers post from there or nearby. Otherwise, I?m in the Harrogate area. By the way, I?m not keen on splitting them. PM me if you want to make a private offer.

Honestly you should split them, The Cave Explorers by Jim Eyre goes for ?50 on it's own.

I'll offer the ?25 and collect from Harrogate to get things going.

If you did split them there are a couple we are interested in and would pay more than ?25 for just a couple.

After the last year and all the hassles that have gone with it I thought I'd get some extra positivity into the caving world. Yes, a bargain for someone, but I'm pleased about that. Sufficient interest has been shown for these books to be sold. Midnight Sunday is the deadline and I will notify the lucky bidder.

?44.44, I might be able to persuade a friend who commutes through Harrogate (or near enough) to pick them up.

Ha! There was one on Amazon just now ('good' condition, slight tears in dust jacket) - signed by author for ?15. The other 3 were around the ?50 mark though. I lent mine to a friend who never gave it back. So looking forward to reliving Jim's adventures.

WOW! ?25 a bargain.

I suggest you use www.parcel2go.com they give alternative carriers and quotes for sending a box of books that size will cost less than a tenner , you can have collected or drop off at a shop local to you. I regularly use for parcels weighing over 2 kilo
