THE COLLECTIBLE MAGAZINE

It all comes down to finding the right person.

To me, certainly not all books are worthless and I really might be tempted to scroll (sorry for the word) through your stack of books once you decide to sell them.

But when it comes down to shipping them to my place it the Netherlands, I will have to do some serious calculating.

And that probably will probably kill off any further action on my part.

Books are one thing, but what to think about cameras ?

Truly pieces of ultra-high craftmanship with razor-sharp lenses are worth practically zero these days.

But again, until you find the right person.

"Books are one thing, but what to think about cameras?"

Your point is noted:  Generally speaking: cameras, VCRs, DVD players, VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs, books, magazines, encyclopedia sets, hand-held video cameras, CRT TVs (non-flat screen ) pocket calculators, land-line phones, digital cameras, PalmPilots, typewriters, FAX machines, cassettes, tape recorders....   are all virtually worthless.      😞 😞 😞

Not all car books are worthless. I recall a collection of rarities selling for $38K on BAT. Now as to which ones have value...

Oh, and thank you George for your eBay suggestion.

With your comment above about "a collection of rarities", it begs another question.  What exactly is the definition of a "rarity"?  Certainly the definition is somewhat of a moving target, as what might be a rarity to one person, may not be for another person. 

It's about having to find "the right buyer" for everything "we consider a rarity or collectible".  And therein lies the situation with selling anything.  One has to hope that there is one person among dozens or perhaps hundreds of people that will be "the one" to be interested in what you are selling.  I don't think that makes something rare.  It's just a matter of one persons taste over another persons taste.
