Dear Customer
Here is our second auction of 2022. I am semi-retired and I intend putting out three of four auctions a year, with material from stock or acquired from “old” customers.
These auctions will not be sophisticated or technological. I think that most of you have worked with me by email on my low technology auctions since about the beginning of the third 1000 years and we have built our supplier/customer game that many of you enjoy playing. This auction follows on from the first auction this year. I had trouble with Mailchimp and most of you did not receive the attachment containing the auction, for which I apologize. I am sending auction two as part of the body of the email and if you wish to bid, please do so by email [Gmail please] or sms. I have included about half of the books on auction one, again on this auction as many of you did not see the previous auction.
This auction has a number of “job lots” with two or more books in a lot which I hope will be enticing. Subjects covered include Central Africa [Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi], Anglo/Zulu War, travel, nature, reference and cooking. The auction begins immediately and finishes @ 7pm SA time on Tuesday 26 July. Please don’t inundate me with multiple bids @ 5 to 7 when the auction ends as I have to enter all bids manually. Also remember that we no longer use SA Post Office so all books are couriered – request a quote for delivery when you place your bids.
I hope this one goes through without any problems. The thirty-four lots may be found below.
