Yeah media mail would be about $5 from cross country for a 6 pound book. There aren't really any restrictions on packaging or anything so as long as he packs it properly it should be fine.

Good info from the expert. A good point on the media mail unlimited weight encouraging adding better protection packaging. Thankyou!

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Good point. I've seen so much oddball stuff randomly denied over media mail if it's not like a straight book/text book I tend to just ignore it.
Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Technically comics and stuff can get kicked out for advertisement and crap, but I doubt this would fall under that BS rule. Really unless someone is just feeling like a ripe asshole I doubt they would screw with it.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
I know a book seller who abuses media mail constantly. Most of the books she sells have no educational value whatsoever, but she ships media mail anyway. I asked her if the post office ever gave her a hard time about it. Nope. She says they don't seems to care.
Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
I mean as long as it's a book they usually won't screw with it. There are a million ways to screw with/return stuff sent media mail but if it feels like a book they won't even bother opening it 90% of the time unless they get really anal. Now if the weight/dimensions feel a little off or there is something rattling around they will open it but otherwise it's usually safe unless someone really feels like being an asshole or is super strict.

Volunteer a little at your local public library and they'll be more than willing to tell you what to buy and how to wrap up almost any book. Public library staff have it down to an art.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
A few things,
Nice carry case for the Classic NES,


An extra stick for the Neo X.
"Why?", I hear you say. :p
$10, from a local guy.

oXbox lot for $30 (most still sealed)

I'm going to offload all of those, except for this guy,

"Just an NES?", you might say.

Well, yeah, but we don't often run into this variant over in this neck of the woods,


That's not true RGB, by the way.
Composite-like visuals. But that's ok. Nice to have in the collection.
The box is beat up, but the system itself is in good shape.

Asian PAL 32X.

Cool, I never knew there was a Starwing console bundle. I don't believe we ever got Star Fox as a pack in game here in the states.
