I am willing to give guides free of charge to those who are genuinely interested in using/collecting guides that are willing to pick them up from me (I live in Los Angeles)

[swetooth9]

so, you wouldnt be willing to mail them if someone payed for shipping?

[spoo]

:idea: If you would mail one for me I would pay all S/H for Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. PM me if you would. Thanks

[andrew333]

i would be willing to send them if sent stamped (with correct postage), self-addressed envelopes -- i am not willing to deal with the post office, envelopes and packaging tape etc.

i think you would need to find out if media mail can be used without an in-person post office visit by me (or of course you could just send me stamped, self-addressed envelopes with first-class postage)

[62t]

ok thanks anyway

[help1]

why not sell them to EB or gamestop? Im sure you will get like 30-50

[andrew333]

it's a chance to help out CAGers with something that was of very low cost to me

62t - 2 people are ahead of you for fire emblem (which i only have one copy of)

also, I DELETED MY THREAD IN THE TRADING FORUM SO PM ME IF YOU POSTED THERE WITH A SPECIFIC REQUEST (king - i have yours)

[swetooth9]

how do i do the self-addressed, stamped thing :confused:

im interested in manhunt guide and the mario advance 4 guide...

[andrew333]

Self-Addressed, Stamped Envelope (SASE) explained:

1. Decide whether you want to walk this path

2. If you do, PM me to confirm that you want certain guides and are going the SASE route

3. Find out from the post office if media mail requires an in-person visit from sender

4a. If media mail requires an in-person visit from the sender, have a correctly-sized envelope stamped with appropriate "first-class" postage for the weight of the guides you want, also put your address on the envelope

4b. If media mail does not require an in-person visit from the sender, have a correctly-sized envelope stamped with appropriate "media mail" postage for the weight of the guides you want, also put your address on the envelope

5. Mail the SASE to me.

My only task is to put the right guides into the envelope that you send and drop them in a mailbox.

[swetooth9]

ah, ok, i get it...

[62t]

I think it is just better to do with first class, since the difference is about 30 cent.

[6669]

I'm interested. If you want to trade, check out the link in my sig.

[andrew333]

6669-

just to be clear again to everyone --

they are not for trade, they are for FREE

you have to pick them up or provide a SASE

if someone wants to donate crappy ps1 games that i can take to game rush, that would be cool; but this is a no-strings offer (other than i don't want to make any effort lol)

as for whether first class is better (for just one guide it probably is), you probably should be careful about getting the right postage on there though (all i am going to do is drop the guides in the mail in the envelopes you give me)

[YoshiFan1]

Depending on the weight of the guides, they probably can't be sent 1st class since 1st class only goes up to 13oz.

[CaseyRyback]

moved this to the trading forum since feedback will more than likely be exchanged

[andrew333]

actually, i am intending gifts

in fact, anyone i send to will have to confirm a "no feedback" stance, i am not risking bad feedback to accomodate people

[roguejedi5]

The warcraft 3 would be good to have. If it is in very good condition.

[beerguy961]

You live near UCLA at all?

[AzianAsspicker]

u live by downey bellflower or cerritos area?

[SOSTrooper]

Where in Los Angeles do you live in? I'm interested in the FF:CC guide.

[andrew333]

beverly hills

[geowong78]

Andrew333

I live by LA and is very close to the Beverly Hills area. I have a few that I'm very interested in.

Could you please let me know what I should do or could to to acquire them? I know this is a very kind thing you are doing and I don't wish for you to think that I'm trying to take advantage of you. I've been looking for those guides for a long time with no luck.

Thanks again!

[andrew333]

geowong --

i have all of those left except ssx3

just send me a PM with your phone number and you can come by my place and pick the others up

i expect to be watching football all day today

[andrew333]

i have been inundated with mailing requests so i have to stop this offer for people unwilling to come to my door in los angeles

[ananag112]

Ah, no wonder you are giving them away. You must be mad rich (jk). It is nice of you to give guides out like that. Some of your guides still sell for around $20 at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. I once returned a Manhunt guide to B&N and got $15 for it.
