Books - Morgan - 8 July 2012
I am starting to buy and sell some sci-fi and fantasy books again, I used to trade on a small scale a few years ago and not only can I make a few quid (very very few) it's pleasurable.
Anyway, may not be to everyone's cup of tea, but some of you may know some collectors...

I have a lot of stuff and although some of it is still down in Wales, I have whole runs of various collections so if you are missing anything for your own collection, give me a yell and I may just have it.
Trying to raise money for new kit.
RE: Books - NorthernRaider - 8 July 2012
SD is ever so kindly baby sitting my collection of books from the Jerry Ahern survivalist series until we can get togther and I can reclaim them after an absense of over 5 years.
I have a library of PA and Survivalist fiction books and am being slowly pushed towards having to sell them all off as i'm skint.
Quick check shows 80 papersbacks in my collection here plus the 20 plus SD is baby sitting.

I used to hate having to sell books until I worked in a specialist second hand book shop for a year and then I started to see them as potential stock. There are some I will never part with but I do buy second hand when I find them in charity shops etc.
Skint myself. Big solicitors bill to pay off.

Thanks Hrusai, they are a bit specialist, but you never know who's into them.

RE: Books - Skean Dhude - 8 July 2012
I love books. I read a lot, just read the Hunger Games whilst sitting waiting in car parks.
Morgan, I wouldn't pay anything like that for books though. I usually get mine at ASDA or at Charity shops.
RE: Books - Hrusai - 8 July 2012
yeah thats the main reason i passed on it, well that and ive got a backlog of several hundred books to read

Not many people would! But some do, I used to work in a specialist second hand book shop and some books would sell for £8000+ at times. If it's rare and there is a market for it, then they fetch daft money.
PS.. I never paid any where near that much for them.
