I gave all the books free to a chess.com member that lives in Michigan. He is paying the freight.
 
P.S.
Why is it that some of you turn to insulting members you don't even know?
Don't you ever think people are honest?
Why do you have to expect the worst?
Did my different experiences of me trying to get rid of my books to someone who might appreciate them bother you?
Maybe from now on don't read posts?

 He's 74 after all. It's just full of blank pages.

Free books might actually move on this god-forsaken page.

Anybody willing to take them off your hands for free should also be willing to pay for the shipping.

Maybe you could contact local chess clubs and see if they want them?

try a scholastic chess club near you.  the coach would likely take them all for the price you are asking.

The Jr. College club and the scholastic school club didn't want them.

The Mechanic's Library the oldest private club in the USA in San Francisco took too long to decide if they wanted them.

So I accepted the offer of a Chess.com member in Michigan who will pay the freight for me to ship them to him.

They are no longer available to anybody.

I smell a troll.. he had 105 books, went to store, sold only 5?

Then he went to library, library doesnt want 100 free books, now selling on craigslist, which also smells fishy.

Pics or dont post please.

Hello again DenverHigh ! First of all I want to applaud your courage in trying to get those items moved out ! I'm also a pack-rat and am overloaded with stuff that I've been collecting for over 50 years. How bad is it here ? Well for goodness sake I've still got some textbooks from my first 3 grades of School back when I lived in Germany ! A sad state of affairs to be sure, but we must carry on as best we can  lol. You truly are an inspiration to pack-rats everywhere !

So I count nine books in the left pile (If you count Alburt's series as 4). Scyon is Scion, and Watskin is Waitzkin. Just sayin'...
