Forum rules
The following requirements must be followed when advertising personal antique radio / TV / audio / phono items (such as discussed in the forums here) for sale in the classifieds forum::
- Titles must START with : FS (for sale) or WTB (want to buy) or Trade or Free at the beginning of the title..
- FS posts must have an "asking" price and offers may be sent by PM. Are you parting something out? ... price each major part (not things like screws and nuts)
- There must be a location somewhere in the ad or the members profile (City & State or Zip Code are the minimum requirement).
- Ads are limited to two per day, and may not be bumped sooner than 7 days after the last post to the thread.
- No outside sales links are allowed other than to pictures of actual items being sold. No links allowed to eBay, Craigslist etc.
- This is NOT a discussion forum. If you're not buying or supplying or suggesting a relevant solution, don't post - send a Private Message. Comments on pricing will be deleted.
- First to post to an item for sale stating "I WILL TAKE IT" it is first in line. Subsequent claims will be followed in the order they are posted. Claims to "Take it" can be conditional on unknowns such as shipping costs.
- Any "PM sent" posts without posting a reason for the PM will be deleted as they are meaningless to anyone else reading the thread.
- Once a deal is made, edit the title to say so and the thread will be locked
If your thread or post disappears - read the rules again - no warnings or explanations will be given when threads or posts are deleted.

Looking back through I guess I'll also take "Radio Test Instruments, Turner, 1946, fair to good condition, $5".
Don't think I've read that one yet. Sending PM.

If I may make a suggestion, it would help eliminate some of the confusion about what is already sold if the original post was edited to remove those, leaving only unsold items on the list.

Since I have a day job (knock on wood), it may be a week until I can ship these out. My three books, The Cat's Wisker, Sears Silvertone Catalogs and Philco Radio which I claimed following your first post, will fit in a $11.35 USPS medium flat rate box (13 5/8" x 11 7/8" x 3 3/8" size - available for free at the post office). You can pack and send in one trip. I sent a PM last night with my address. I can pre-paypal you the total immediately. No rush in sending, though. BTW - I highly recommend The Portable Radio In American Life for anyone interested in that segment of radio history. Thanks, Dave Sorry Dave..I didn't see your early post for the Sears Silvertones as it was hidden between the photos. I'll stay with the machine age to get age 3 volume set for $30, second make it Fix it Annual as the first was already sold for $3.50, and the Atwater Kent book for $5.00.

I think, in the future, it would be best to add additional items in the 1st post using Edit rather than adding additional posts with more items. Avoids confusion such as this. Probably a good idea for everyone to follow. After additional items are added, it's OK to bump the ad with a reply stating additional items were added and then list them.

Media Mail is cheapest for books, about $5 for 5-6 pounds. I usually use a couple of wraps of corrugated cut from a large box...
