RivalBooks.com
Antiquarian, Collectible, Vintage and Used Books


Rival Books is a small company with big operations selling old books and magazines of every kind over the internet. There are only a few of us working here, but we are selling millions of dollars worth of inventory.

We have tens of thousands of used, rare and vintage books listed on Amazon.com, ABEbooks.com, Alibris, Barnes & Noble, Half.com and other sites, covering every subject imaginable. We are also building an ever-growing number of eBay listings for rare, collectible and used paperback books and magazines. Our collection of items is always expanding, so be sure to keep coming back to see what new and exciting things we have added to our inventory.



Our Terms

*** We are an honest seller ***
This means that we do everything we can to make sure all of our items are described accurately; we have no problems accepting back anything may not have met your expectations; and we are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

This also means that we follow all of the rules. We will not end any auctions early; we will not accept PayPal for items sold in the Mature Audience category; and we will not lie on customs forms, etc.

Will you please ship my magazine lot by Media Mail?

Due to postal regulations, we can not ship magazines via Media Mail because they contain advertisements.  Yes, we know the advertisements are too old to be valid any more, and yes we understand that some other sellers do it anyway.  However, we have already been issued several warnings about this from the post office, and because of the amount of legitimate Media Mail items we ship, we can not afford to lose our Media Mail privileges.  The only exception to this rule is magazines bound together in hardback book format.

We have no problems combining auctions together to save on shipping costs.

Let us know at the end of your first auction that you intend to bid on more items so we know what to expect.  Payment for all of the items you want shipped together must be made within 10 days of the end of your first auction.  Otherwise, auctions that are not paid for will be relisted.

We have had a lot of people asking about purchasing/receiving one or several magazines from a lot.

You are welcome to bid what you are willing to pay for just the items you want, and if you are the high bidder, let us know which items you want and we will ship them for a reduced shipping charge (1 magazine is $3). Your full bid amount will be due at the close of the auction, like normal, so be sure to bid only what you are willing to pay for the items that you want.

We get a lot of requests for us to hold items as we come across them.

We can not hold newly found items for people.

The easiest way to ensure that you always find what you are looking for is to set up a Favorite Search in your My eBay Preferences. eBay will then send you an e-mail when the item you are looking for is listed. You can even specify to look only for our listings, or for any seller's listing.


Payment Options:

Payment must be made within 10 days of the end of the auction.  We are not out to hurt or insult you, but if we do not receive payment we have to file a Non Paying Bidder Alert so we can get a refund on our fees.

We accept Visa, MasterCard & American Express - you can contact us directly to give your information.

International money orders and checks need to be in US dollars. Please contact us to let us know that you are mailing your payment so we know to expect it.

Shipping Details:

We are happy to combine auctions and direct purchases made within 10 days into one shipment. For very large shipments, we may have to send multiple boxes due the weight limits for some mailing options.

For international orders we ship via Parcel Post Economy, unless otherwise requested.
