<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 350578, member: 1476"]IMHO the last two have little/no value <i>despite </i>whatever listings you may find. The Wodehouse is a book club edition of a short story collection without dust jacket by a popular author. (This means there are lots out there in better editions and in better condition.) And there is no market for old art books such as Famous Paintings; the reproductive quality of the images isn't good enough for one thing. I'd immediately put those two in the "no" pile (which can be revisted when deciding on final disposal.) The Mein Kampf has condition issues but there might be a market for it. However, it isn't on eBay where the sale of Nazi items if (very rightly) prohibited. I'd put that in the "maybe" pile. The trick when dealing with boxes of old books is to keep moving, cull out those volumes of greatest value and put your efforts there. Once those are up (if selling on eBay is your intention) and earning money for you, you can start fiddling with things of lesser interest/value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
