Family has been going through some rough time lately (who hasn't) financially and otherwise. Emotional issue, visa issues, electric cutoff ,etc.

We are going through our books and trying to sell what we can however we can to try to work through some of our financial problems. This is not something that we want to do, but ....

We have books that we have collected through graduate school and before - an some other items. Many sre textbooks or others that we use as sources for stuff we use in our Government classes didn't know if anybody might be interested in some of them.

If so, you could IM me.

If you feel this is inappropriate for this forum, please let me know and I will remove this post. DU has been very beneficial to me both in getting material to use in my classes and for emotional support. I do not want to do anything to disrespect or cause issues here.

Thanks . . . if nothing else, I could use your thoughts.

Peace

1. I hope your crises resolve themselves to your and your family's betterment

And don't have any problem with what you are trying to do here, for whatever my opinion is worth.

2. I think this is for selling things. No reason needed.

You probably need to set it up in a way people can understand what you have and what you're asking. Good Luck!

4. 1st of all, I hope thinks start to get better for you. You have my best wishes and sincere concern.

2nd; Make a list of the books and anything else.

This is the marketplace. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with you 'marketing' the things you don't need and can make some cash from.


Good luck to you and yours. Hang in there - I sincerely hope things turn around for you and for many others.
