The shipping was really fast and came four days earlier than expected. The seller was very responsive and agreed to an offer I made. That was really awesome. I got a pretty good price. The books were in worse shape than I realized. The item listing was kind of not true. There were also no pictures of some of the bad places of the books. I got it for a good price though, so you get what you pay for. Overall a pretty good seller, not the best, but pretty good.

I opened my package and found more than I ordered. There were 4 books on tape and some guitar dvd I knew I didn't order and thought they messed up. So I was going through to see what I needed to send back and find a more from Mr and Mrs Martin, said I bought so much, they sent me the rest of their inventory. I am very humble they chose me. Thank you. AAA+++ EBAYER
