The first book (Caroline) is my listing. I found the book in a free box and thought it looked old. Had no idea it’s value until I looked it up when I got home. The buyer said her mother read it to her when she was little and she was overjoyed to find another copy. ❤

I absolutely adore old books! And so does my little boy. We were in a thrift store (UK) the other day and he excitedly said "I can smell old books!" sure enough, there were a box of childrens annuals from the 1960/70s. Only £1 each! He was so happy! Stumbled on your channel by chance but youve got a new subscriber now!

The Velveteen Rabbit book goes for around £3 to £6 in the UK, UK people won't pay next to nothing for these books. That's probably the reason why most people in the UK send their books to the charity shops or in the recycling bins. I've said many times that the USA population will pay crazy money for things that are worth next to nothing here in the UK. Thank you, Don. Charles in the UK

Good to know, but yeah, you're right. I want to keep these when I find them. I currently have a half dozen of the white Oz books, several Dr. Seuss 1sts, James and the Giant Peach (haven't found Charlie yet, but I did read it 50 years ago), and a Grimm's Fairy Tales book that bring back too many memories for me to want to sell. Best I can do is put notes in them of what they're currently worth for my heirs to find. They'll pay for a nice party at my funeral. 😀

What do you think of the poetry book! “Some Fancies in Verse” by Mary Pettus Thomas? She had only two copies published. One is located at the New York Library located on the teleprompter, you are not aloud to hold. Mary Pettus Thomas drew all the art work on both books. You can still purchase copies online. So where is the second book? And how much is the original book worth?

When the asked-for price is crossed out, how do we know what it actually sold for?

@williamdesmarais4931 2 жыл бұрын

The price crossed out is because someone made a best offer and the seller accepted it. As a personal rule of thumb I find that most sellers with buy it now will go 10% to 20% off. So if the selling price is lined out I generally figure a $500 item sold for $400 to $450.

Seller beware, i found a 1 am ed of dr jeckel and mr hyde 1896, out before eng ed. T took it to a very classy book store in Los Angeles, an aba member. The dealer told me no this is not the first ed and offered me 65.00, even after much research and still believing i was correct, i sold it. I also signedup for mailing listfor catalogs. The very next month i received the catalog, only to see my book for 25.hundred, explaining the same fact i told him, my cooy was true first ed so he lied and cheated me . He had also bought a few others from me that day, thats another story.
