    I've had this 158 page book of sheet music up on Ebay 3 times and I'm surprised it hasn't sold for $10.00. Dated 1890 and appears to be in fantastic condition.
    I'm just wondering if I should bother with the rest of them. Thank you again for any advice...grateful for the help!

    If you can't sell it you might be able to donate it somewhere.:)

    I have been Joshua. I just gave a little girl an old jointed bear before trying to sell it. haha...then looked it up afterward.
    It's all good if things don't sell :), I'm happy to see this old stuff appreciated

    The only ones I have had any success with are the individual song sheets with colorful graphics. People seem to buy those for framing. Can't get much more than $4 or $5 for even the most artsy looking ones.

    That has been my experience also; a lot of sheet music can be had for less than $1 apiece, so it can be hard to sell unless it has a killer graphic. If KoT wants any of it, I'd jump at that opportunity.
