REVERSE AUCTION FOR June 14, 2026
Instructions for Reverse Auction Orders
Greetings magic book friends! Here’s the latest version of the Reverse Auction dated Sunday (June 14, 2026). We’re offering more great books, booklets, catalogs, lecture notes, posters, ephemera, DVDs, and props—some vintage and many new and newer items of all types on diverse subjects—and all are offered at increasingly affordable prices since they go down by 10% each time the Reverse Auction is issued—with many now as low as $4 or $5 each. If you see something of interest, verify availability with an email query to us and we will respond with the total cost including shipping at standard rates (or priority, if requested). As usual, we won’t start answering anyone’s queries until the Monday morning, but we still hope to be back in touch with everyone by Monday afternoon. We always respond in the order that your queries are received. Zip codes are helpful with your query and, if you are located outside the U.S., please include where you want your order shipped.
Bundle and Save more: Pick any three $4.00 items (books, booklets or even small lots—and there are still a lot of them on this list) and buy all three for only $10.00! Great for filling in gaps in your collection or for passing along to friends or family members just getting started in magic.
Also – Please Note – We will be heading out of the country again at the end of this week, so the next Reverse Auction will not be coming out until July 12!
As always though, we “GUARANTEE YOUR PURCHASE”—if you want to return an item for any reason, we offer a full refund of the purchase price.” Please query first to confirm availability and reserve one or more items. Most items are single copies and are available subject to prior sale. We will ship jigsaw puzzle produced within two days of receiving your personal check or your payment via PayPal http://www.PayPal.com (made payable to dan@bradburybooks.com). Our address information—including our web site where some additional material may be found—is at the end of the list.
