You emailed me a list ....

of the books you had for sale.
I took my time, went through the whole list, gave you a list back of the authors I was interested in depending on condition.
Since condition is relative, I gave a few guidelines ... are the spines creased etc.
I also asked more questions like .... this author only wrote 8 novels and you say you have 23, can you tell me if there are duplicates.
I was told the books were in good condition ... no details .... none of the other questions answered, but you have an additional question of your own ....
Well how many book will you buy if they are in good condition.
I count based on the list you have provided and say it could be as many as 200, depending on condition and duplicates.

Of course you are disappointed when I only choose 98 of your trashed paperbacks (all spines creased, some with loose pages, many duplicates.) But truthfully, so am I.

I am not a great communicator.
