So I have a lot of Stuff that I could really stand to get rid of, and 
really do need to get rid of if I want to move somewhere with more job 
opportunities (since taking everything with me isn't really an option).

Craigslist is proving pretty much worthless.  Nothing but scammers and 
spammers...  Anyways, I'd like to get rid of my books quickly, but also 
get back at least a little money in the process.  Iffy on using ebay for 
this, as I've tried half.com but that only works one book at a time, 
from what I can tell, and the two books I've sent out as a test I've not 
got paid for yet.

The list of what I have is at 
http://anybook.anysize.org/~kasuga_kyosuke/books.htm -- if there's 
something you want, give a shout, everything's up for grabs.

Failing anybody anywhere being interested in them, the whole lot's 
probably going to Goodwill...money down the drain, but that's the story 
of my life.

I'm mostly lurking around just from time to time here (new job and new 
city and all of that stuff)- so I just noticed your post. Are there still 
some of the books available? I think I'm interested in buying some of them 
- for sure the Asimov books and maybe some of the drawing books. I will 
try to check the list in more detail tommorrow - it is probably too 
expensive to ship them to germany for just two or three books, but maybe 
I find more than that.
Cheers,
Florian

There were a few that my sister picked out, but I think I updated the 
link there to reflect that.  All are still available, though I'm about 
to list the Maria-sama ga Miteru books on ebay.

(Side note:  Craigslist sucks for selling things)

Well, the books I've bought from Japan, shipping just about exactly 
doubled the cost of the book from cover-price.  Which suggests books 
tend to be priced by weight in the first place...

I don't know if flat-rate shipping works internationally, but the 
largest box they have with 7 pounds weight max is $18 for shipping (way 
cheaper than getting a normal sticker for it).

Er...make that 70 lbs weight max.  Something like that.
