I purchased a ton of Maya training material over a year ago, but as things turned out, I haven't really used most of them. My career path has steered towards writing/directing/art directing, so I don't think I'll do any heavy-duty production work in the future. So, these Maya training materials are going up for sale--as I don't really need them anymore. Most are brand-new, viewed only once to make sure there are no defects. I have a bunch of books too, but since most of them were damaged in an air-conditioner water drip accident, and although the pages are perfectly legible, I don't think anyone would want to buy books with somewhat wrinkled pages.

Here's a picture of the VHS and DVDs:

You can choose to buy individual items or multiple items--or buy the whole list if you need them all. It's up to you. I've taken the prices as low as I'm willing to go (about 40~60% off the price I purchased them for), since I bought them all brand new, and they are barely used--some I only opened the shrink-wrap a few days ago to make sure there are no defects. I didn't bother splitting them up into packages and combination discounts, since the prices on each are as low as I'm willing to go. I paid about $2,200 for all the stuff listed here, and at the prices I'm selling, they're about $1,340--that's 60% of what I paid.

Keep in mind that I currently am in Asia, so if you are purchasing from a distant country, the shipping will be more. Buyer pays for the shipping (I can't tell you how much for shipping because I don't know how many you'll buy, or what shipping methods you want. You'll have to look into it beforehand at any of the postal/shipping company's websites for estimates). If you live far from Asia, it'll probably be best for you to buy as many as you can to maximize on the savings for shipping. If you only buy one or a few items, you might be disappointed by the shipping fee.
