I purchased some bulk books last week, some dating back to 1782. You would think that a book that old would automatically mean it's worth a lot of money. Wrong! Many if not most books from the 18th century sell for under $10. Like any other collectable it comes down to desirability and condition. For instance the book shown above; the most popular fishing book of all time, over 100 years old, gold script writing, it must be worth a fortune. Wrong again. There were hundreds of versions of this book printed, over many many years. Unless you are an avid fishing book collector, this book will appeal to a limited number of buyers. I have it listed on eBay for $89, we'll see what happens. By the way, if you would like to see my listings on eBay, just follow me. My handle (sellers name) is Lovegolf. And, yes I do
Well I woke up this morning to snow. It's still snowing 7 hours later. So much for Spring has sprung. It's a perfectly good day to list items on eBay.
