TRADITIO periodically offers for sale used traditional Catholic books and compact discs that are typically hard to find and not listed on auction sites. Anyone may bid on the lots offered in a "silent auction." However, if you have an active interest in purchasing such books and wish to be placed on our special E-mail list for advance notification of booksale announcements, simply send your name and E-mail address in an E-mail to the TRADITIO Network.
Your bid is a legal contact and cannot be withdrawn, so do not bid unless you are prepared to purchase the lot at the price you bid. Each lot will be sold to the highest bidder after approximately two weeks of bidding. All bids received will be acknowledged. Successful bidders will be notified individually in approximately two weeks after original publication of the booksale list. (Sellers' decision on the qualifications of the bidders and the selection of the successful bidder is final.)
The book lots currently open for bidding are listed below. Lots frequently sell at a price substantially higher than the minimum, and each bidder may enter only one bid per lot, so be sure to send the highest bid that you can to the TRADITIO Network.
All books are in good to as-new condition in hardcover, unless otherwise noted. Shipment will be made by Federal Express. U.S. shipping addresses only.
