The prices listed are that which you would pay for a brand new copy. They are not the prices which I would expect to be paid.

However, the out of print book prices are what Amazon lists as the current market price.

I am very happy to negotiate the prices that I have listed. If you would like to purchase a number of books we can talk about a discount price.

All I am trying to do is raise some money to get to a seminar in the New Year. This is not my business and I will only sell the number of books that I need to cover my travel and seminar fees.

Thanks

Jason,

No Relnick Sensei will be in Sydney during Feburary for a Jodo seminar. I missed the last as I had recently re-located to QLD.
We had a change to the family composition, and on the one wage I am looking at other ways to raise the required funds.

Jason
