Here are a list of email address for dealers I have dealt with.  They
are
mostly interested in things that are "recent". We had the most success
with
RPBS.  They paid for shipping.

Peter and others - Late in 1996 one of our wonderful list moderators
suggested that it=s OK to post all this info. to the list.  I'm
reposting it now for those of you who may be new to SERIALST or who
didn't save the list previously but now find that you need it and would
rather not search the archives.  Bear in mind, though, that some of the
details may not be current, but this is what I compiled at the time.
Also, I don=t know under what geographic limitations, if any, the
companies listed below operate.  You would have to inquire yourself.

May provide boxes, pack, and pick up.  (I know from another library
that they have gone at least as far as Boston.)  We have had a long-term
relationship with this company, but this is the first time we have
received and accepted a bid from them.  Had to wait a while for payment;
more than 30 days after pickup.

not interested in what we had to offer.

Attn. Ken Hoch
Responded to my questions with the following info. : "We pay cash or
credit.  The price is based
on the title and volumes, there is no fixed per issue or per volume
price.  You would need to pack
the volumes, we pay the shipping charges.  If necessary, we can send
shipping cartons.  If known
in advance, we factor the cost into our bid.  Otherwise, we deduct the
cost from our bid.  We can
provide shipping labels for a large shipment, together with a bill of
lading for the trucking
company, if the shipment is large enough to be sent by motor freight.
We advise the trucking
company to use and the phone number to arrange a pick-up.  If the
shipment is small, we arrange
a pick-up by RPS, so there is no cost or paperwork for you.  Much
depends on the titles you have
and how complete they are.  If your list consists of many volumes
missing issues, it will be less
interesting than if you have the last 5-10 years complete."
Was not interested in what we had this time but asked us to keep them
in mind for the future.
Several other libraries mentioned them as well.

scientific, and technical
journals in all fields and most languages."
