A list would be useful. Quote
copper123 Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 If you are near a major town (London , Birmingham or manchester for instance )you might be better off listing them as a pick up only lot on Ebay.Pick a free listing day and put a reasonable reserve on them and hope a newbie collector is interested.You could always leave them at a friend or relatives house if you don't live near a major city.Just keep relisting them till you get the price you want.Other more valueable books , IE peck or freeman's books sell like hot cakes anyway .But the run of the mill stuff i.e. Spink is a bit hard to shift once out of date .

copper123 Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Wow you live near London.You should have no problem selling the esp if you are based near the m25 Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 Reiterating what other people have said here, I'm sure that many members on here would be willing to pay a fair price for some of your books. Do you have a list available? Quote
£400 for a Penny ? Posted November 15, 2012 Author Posted November 15, 2012 Thing is Clive, Rob etc I'd prefer to shift the whole lot in one go rather than allow 'cherry picking' as that way I'll quickly wind up with a pile of books that nobody wants. I've already allowed my Dalton & Hamer and my Gouby to leave the building as it is...I might try the ebay route as suggested, not comfortable with using Chris' forum to advertise my wares, so to speak, so won't publish a list, doesn't seem right.Thanks for contributions.

£400 for a Penny ? Posted November 16, 2012 Author Posted November 16, 2012 I did have a list, but I lost it when my PC crashed, I'll be honest, I've been putting off making another because it's a tedious task, not so much because of the nature of it, but because of where the books are stored.I do however need to do it, yes, so will crack on with it.Based Bromley, by the way.Thanks.ps Much Spam on here this morning ?

Chris Perkins Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 My friend Richard in Bexley recently sold a largeish collection of Numismatic books to a London based Numismatic book dealer. Quick and easy and a fair price, but I think even he needed a list! I can't remember who the book dealer was, but Richard can be asked via his website www.coinsforsale.co.uk Quote
