bike2steam Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The best books to sell these days are specialist books, not 'coffee-table' books, or general books like those with 'railways' in the title, but those with 'railway', good quality, and such as detail pics that are useful to modellers tend to sell better.

For a buyer thats good news, as I said I just brought 5 or 6 new ones for the area I am interested in all cheaper than buying a mag. No doubt like the mags, no resale value Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovex Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The local church fete may be a way of disposing of some books, rather like a charity they'll try to resell them and then dispose of what they can't get sell. Alternatively I gave some old books to my partner to take into his work. To explain he works in a dementia home and they wanted books for the residents to read.

List at a slightly lower price. Wait for them to undercut you. Repeat. See how low you can get before someone buys the book ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 2mmMark Posted January 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just this evening, I received an email from Camden Miniature Steam Services, part of which read: "Lots More Secondhand books for you to Browse...... Now that the pre Christmas pandemonium is behind us, we have had time to add a lot more books to the Secondhand section, mainly railway linked books from around the world, as well as the UK.Doing this, we realised that even fairly recent, but now Out of Print books, seem to be climbing in value; I suppose this reflects the fact that many specialist publishers worldwide are going out of business, or not producing new books.Our secondhand book prices are set by reference to what others are asking and setting a lesser price, so if there is something you want amongst our selection, act now, or loose the chance...."
