Last week, I went to an ordinary attic-crawl deal. On the way up the stairs, I saw a very rare, clear 19th-century edition of Moby Dick, with a beautiful decorative cloth cover. This book really had no place in this sale, in that it didn't match any of the other items in the home or the attic. It is possible that the book was the only item in the house worth more than 20 dollars on Ebay. The book came in a 40-dollar lot with 8 meh books, two of which I discarded and a bunch of mid-century freemasonry jewelry. I found a similar volume that sold in auction for 700 dollers in 2022. I listed the Moby Dick for $2000, and I sold it a few days later for 1000
So glad to see another video from you. I have learned so much watching your content. Even if half the books I buy are worthless, the ones I sell return 10x the total cost outlay. Thanks again, Randy.
I love books, I remember the Ladybird book collection here in the UK, which I had bought for me as I grew up. I had about 30 in total, I know that there were about another 5 or 6 more of them, but I could never find them anywhere. Kids don't read much these days as they only want the play stations etc. Nice to see you are looking well. Thank you, Don. Charles in the UK
I used to pay £1 at a flea market for books like those in the video (early C19 fiction, obscure non-fiction). Now I don't. The money's in other books- e.g "The English Regional Chair" (1999). Going rate in the UK for a framed C19 fashion print is about £2-£3 at a thrift shop.
Very nice book haul. I've done the same with old encyclopedias (one set 1908) that people were throwing out. Many maps, color plates of plants etc. Also had a Marilyn Monroe coffee table book with about 50 full page photos of her in her famous and other interesting poses. Book was valued at $79. Paid $3. Framed the prints in $1 good will frames and sold them for $15 --$20 each. Guys bought them at the flea market for their home office or man cave.😀 Didn't squabble on the price either. Thanks as always for sharing your great information !
I worked at a Library in Miami in the 70's and we would have people come into the Reference a section and armed with an EXCTO knife would cot out some of the oldest Portraits and Art work!! These were always done by old retired people looking to sell the! They ruined some of our oldest and most precious collections!
Thanks for another amazing video. I was honestly waiting for you to make a video like this..I have a lot of loose pages from old books and magazines...would you call that emphemera?..thank!
What percentage does heritage take? Any advice on working with them? I’ve got some large framed art. Also, I’d love a video tutorial on selling on Amazon.
Oh you, you're smart enough to buy some of those early Editions -my civil war books are worth an absolute Fortune... especially some of the military war manuals... all the guns were liquidated... still have some interesting artifacts from both sides... another Niche is all the interesting religious Guru books... sometimes I might have the only copy of something... those can bring an absolute Fortune...Laxvespa--LosAngeles.. sometimes the Engravings in some of the older books are absolutely phenomenal...
My husband passed away recently and he had a lot of old books and magazines he told me I could sell after he passed away. I also have many books and children's books that I want to sell, how do I find the value of some of them, I know some are valuable, I just want to make sure I am making what I should, especially since I need to earn extra money to live on! How can I contact you to ask you a couple of questions? 😊😊❤😊😊

What did you mean going into a library and "scanning" books? You mean using an actual page scanner to digitize books??

I've never seen a book cover that is hand stitched. very cool
I’ve sold books for over 20 years. If I had to start a business today, I would not do books. These days it’s hard to really get profitable books.

Good to see you're still doing good, I haven't been watch RUclips much ..🙌🏻🙏🏻
I found Waldo 😊
Thank you Don. Enjoy your videos so much

So you take the illustration/etchings and frame them and sell?
Was just wondering what’s been happening to the auction professor. Great video

Was just thinking about you! 😁
Hey Don the link for the top 20 children's books come up with video no longer available. Can you reset ?
My antiques seller makes almost all his money from old books that he sends to the United States.
I have a lot of books dating between 1880-1930 but have no idea how to value them
@@lornahopf2477 put a price on it! Let the market tell you :)
You just love cutting thinks up.
Good stuff!
I have lotta of books, but don’t know what they are worth. I would love for you to help me. I’m still learning

@@MrsHornesgdnm go to ABEbooks. You can search values. Dust jackets and condition are key! Age isn’t always an indicator of value.
