FAQ – Book availability and uniqueness of the offer
Are the books available in the offer single copies?
Yes. Most of our books are unique copies, available as single items. This makes each book one-of-a-kind and often collectible. Once sold, the item disappears from the offer and there is no guarantee of its availability again.
Can books that have disappeared from the offer return to sale?
We cannot predict whether a given book will appear in the offer again. Some titles come to us irregularly and in single copies, so their availability is random and depends on deliveries.
Can I reserve a book that interests me?
Yes, in justified cases a short-term reservation of a book is possible. To arrange details, please contact us directly.
Do you inform about the re-availability of books?
Yes, if we receive an inquiry about a specific item, we can inform the customer when the book appears again in our offer.
Can I inquire about a book that is currently not in the offer?
Yes, of course. You can send an inquiry about a book you are interested in.
However, it is worth remembering that if the item shows the status "out of stock" or "0 available copies," it means the book has been sold and is currently not in the offer — even if it still appears in external catalogs or search engines.
We respond to such inquiries as soon as we can offer an available copy or a similar item.
What does "out of stock" mean?
The status "out of stock" means that the book is currently not in the offer. This results from a sales model based on single copies, without a permanent warehouse and repeatable stock.
Books visible in the store without a listed price.
Can I buy a book that appears in the store but has no listed price?
Some books visible in our online store are not intended for direct sale but have been selected for auction sale. In such cases, the item may not have a purchase price listed.
A detailed description of the book, auction information, and conditions for participating in the bidding can be found on our auction site:
Antykwariat Sobieski - OneBid auctions
Please search there for the title or author you are interested in.
If a customer asks about the price of such a book, the automatic response should be:
"This item has been designated for auction sale. It does not have a direct sale price in the store. Details about the book, including description and auction information, can be found on our website: sobieski.onebid.pl."
