This is not operated like an eBay auction! Internet bids are final and bidders are not notified of competing bids. If multiple bids are received via the Internet for a specific title, the larger bid will be the winner. If equal bids are received, each bidder will be informed via the Internet and will have the opportunity to increase their bid before the final sale.

This sale is done by volunteers and not by skilled book sellers. Every effort is made to accurately represent the condition of the item.

The DVOC is not accepting additional books for this auction at this time
