Delcampe: a true collectors paradise !
If you are a collector I strongly recommend that you take a look at Delcampe.
It is an international Buy & Sell Fixed Price and Auction website specifically designed for collectors.
Many thousands of collectables are listed and illustrated. I am sure you will find many items within your field of interests.
Take a look by clicking the link above.
Registration is simple and FREE!! with hundreds of new members signing on every day. No cost to buyers!!
Listed below are bargain fixed price second-hand books, pamphlets, etc. on all manner of subjects.
I have several hundred books to list and I will place them in the catalogue as time permits.
They are from my personal collection or have come into my possession as an aside.
I have priced them below what I believe is the current market value and there should be some real bargains.
(For books on my main specialist subjects of Scouting, Guiding and the Baden-Powells go to Site Map)
The list will be updated on a regular basis with new items added and sold items removed.
The list should therefore be worth revisiting on a regular basis and/or entering on your favourites list.
To order simply mark and copy the item/s you wish to purchase and then paste them into an email. Send me your email. I will then prepare an invoice and email it back to you. As soon as I receive full payment by PayPal for UK and overseas customers. (UK customers may also pay by Cheque, Postal Order or Bank Credit Transfer) I will then post/ship your items.
If you wish to place an order or have any constructive suggestions that may improve this service please email me
I will endeavour to keep the list up to date but there may be the odd occasion where an item has already been sold and I have not had time to remove it.
(Please note I am a one man business and time is always at a premium)
All prices are in GBP (Great Britain Pounds) Postage is extra.
Go to Frequently Asked Questions for how to order and methods of payment etc.
You can obtain a discount on completed orders from this catalogue or combination of catalogues from my website.
5.0% discount if invoice totals between GBP 5.00 and GBP 10.00
7.5% discount if invoice totals between GBP 10.00 and GBP 25.00
