If anyone is looking for Karabiner Volume II (Books A & B) - k98k's 1939-1944 is still have a "limited stock" of brand new books sourced directly from the authors (Karem & Steves) at Third Party Press. See "ShootingGalleryBooks" on ebay. I was their #1 retailer and got the last they sold wholesale. SGB's
 
I swore to God that I was out of the K98 field. No really I was! Well until I traded into a nice bcd 4. You know how that goes

Sorry Mike but I think I just bought your last copy of this.

Hi Rich ---- just got your order on EBAY. Not to worry --- I HAVE BRAND NEW Volume II BOOK SETS (A&B) IN STOCK and your set will ship today - USPS "Priority Mail". I was their #1 retailer and such they held some for me at the end. I believe I'm the only gun book seller with any appreciable inventory. But cannot replace - book is out of print - so my current EBAY selling price will be going up as my inventory on hand goes down.

Just picked up a copy! I figured I can pick up some knowledge without having to message the senior members 👌

Kevin - thank you for your purchase - will ship tomorrow.

Kev - SMART PURCHASE - these will be $200 a set in the VERY VERY near future and a LOT LOT LOT more in a year or two.

I am contemplating a price increase to $165 now as the few others that have ANY left are already around $200 a set.

DG --- the authors are SOLD OUT as of 3/15. I was and am their #1 retailer since Kriegsmodell came out like in 2010. I still have a limited stock of Karabiner Vol.II A/B two book set. I'm along in years and no longer do the shows (did for 30 years) --- just sell on EBAY now. Go to ebay - do a search for Karabiner Vol.II and or Shooting Gallery Books (also my ebay ID). You will find them listed there. Have not (yet) marked them up (out of print premium) but soon will as my stock depletes. I also sell direct if you want to call me (518-877-0719) / or email me (shootbks@nycap.rr.com) where you can still use a CC or Pay Pal and when you buy direct there is no sales tax. Ebay adds sales tax - beyond the sellers control. SGB's
 
Well, I'm bummed. I bought it through ebay and payed the tax. Figured since Ebay said it was the last copy, it was. I should have known ebay lied.
 
EBAY / AMAZON etc. charge buyers sales tax --- ebay sellers have no say in the matter. Worse yet is ebay charges selling commission on the price of the item, plus the shipping PLUS the sales tax. EBAY sellers like myself have to pay ebay selling commission (for books it's 15%) on monies we don't get (the shipping/the U.S.P.O. gets and the sales tax each state gets. So for example --- if I sell a book on ebay for $100 and the shipping is $15 and your sales tax for your state is lets's say 8% --- I pay 15% of $115.00 plus $9.20 ($115.00 x .08) --- or $124.20 x .15 --- $18.63. So on a $100.00 I sell on ebay I "net" $81.37 ($100.00 less $18.63). A $100.00 normally costs me $65 landed so on a $100.00 sale I make around $15 profit!!! That's it!!! Everyone wants a piece of the action.

Total rip off IMHO but it's their game and it you want to play - you have to play by their rules.

Amazon (Jeff Bozos) is worse --- he charges private Amazon sellers 20% commission!!!!

Many folks are afraid to "buy direct" as EBAY / AMAZON, etc. are well known and have all sorts of BUYER PROTECTIONS.

But my "savy" gun book buyers - I have been at this for 40 years - long before Amazon and EBAY even existed --- they buy from me direct.

I'm a lifetime NRA member (since 1962) and "gun person". They are anti-gun. For them is just about $$$. For me it's a life long passion. I have sold almost 250,000 gun books since I started in 1983. I'm 82 now and my time left is limited. Not many guys in the gun book selling business anymore - most have passed on.

Ask Mike S and or Bruce K how "legit" and reliable I am......I give every customer large or small 100% for now 40+ years........my competitors don't like me - must mean I'm doing things they aren't. My customers love me - and I they.

Mike at Shooting Gallery has been with us from the start. Only we sold more books than him - he’s an honest guy and takes care of people, I’ve never had one bad thing to say about him.

Got my books today. Fast shipping!

I hope you weren't thinking that I was questioning if you were legit or not. I'm really not a fan of the IRS who is?
