Library Sale Find
My local library has a shelf of donated books in the foyer which sell for 50
cents (hardcovers). Yesterday I picked up a first edition of Donnie Brasco with DJ in good+ condition. |

Hi Jean: I am the new "kid" on the block. A quick question! If you were to sell that cookbook, where would you sell it? best regards, douglasj69 Hi. I am barely here. It was actually a book about birds--I do tend to look around at other things, although cookbooks are my major motivator. The story on this book is that a friend listed it for 2000, which it sold for. But after her cut, insurance, shipping to Australia (I am in Massachusetts), I only got ca $1200. Ack! Worse than that, I had read an article about a really valuable book on birds and could not find it. This may have been the book, in which case it was worth a lot more.... I do intend to become a seller at some point, have gotten a few domains, but need to do various things before that happens. And, I should add, I am NOT selling my cookbooks unless they are duplicates etc. I love them and intend to bequeath them to colleges, etc.! -- Jean B. |

Tell that thing about little value to the sellers! :-) -- Jean B. |
