Anyone have a good reliable link for looking up the value of old books?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Hi all,

I recall several years ago a friend of mine relying pretty heavily on a particular website for looking up old books and their potential value… Considering there are millions of different old books out there can anyone suggest a reliable website resource for finding the value of old books? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!

I use all of the above. Just keep in mind that prices at these sites are for books not yet sold. One piece of advice I got years ago is to ignore the lowball prices and those prices which seem ridiculously high and pick a price somewhere in the middle.

And, IMO, since Bonanza includes a link to Amazon on our listings, it’s wise to consider Amazon pricing above all else when you are deciding on your own selling price.

To Answer Brilliantly

Remember these tips:

  • Use links to other sources to support your opinions
  • Use examples where possible
  • Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?

Should I post a comment or an answer?

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

Post an answer for:

  • Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question

Post a comment for:

  • "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
  • When you would like the original poster to provide more details
  • When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
