Valuation For Sale -- Book Valuations and Appraisals

Valuation For Sale

What will I receive?

You will get a price valuation for the purpose of selling your items. A listing of all sales of identical or similar items sold. Also a comprehensive, targeted guide to the best market places to sell your particular item in order to maximize your profit; including a list of specilaist dealers that may be interested.

Why pay for a valuation when some websites offer to do it for free?

All of them are associated with a store who will try to get your book for bottom dollar so they can sell at a fat profit to their customers. I don't want to buy your book and I have no vested interest in giving you a false price.

But can't I use Google to value my own books?

I don't just use Google: I have access to all major auction houses' and book dealers' databases and back catalogues. A significant number of catalogues are available only in print. You could spend a lot of time valuing your own books and still arrive at the wrong answers.

How much will it cost?

$19.50 (US dollars) per book. There is a discount for bulk lots, please get in touch for a quote.

How do I pay?

I accept all major credit cards. They are processed securely through PayPal. Direct transfers in to my New Zealand bank account are also acceptable.

Can I send you photographs or scans?

I will let you know if that would be helpful and what address to send them to.

How long will it take?

Approximately 2-10 days. If you're in a rush please let me know and I will see what I do.

What if I don't get what you said I would?

Prices vary from time to time and place to place. I can only go on what the same or similar item has sold for in the past. Remember it's an auction price. A retailer will offer you 30-50% of what they are going to sell it for.

Can you sell it on my behalf?

If you wish to remain anonymous I can act as seller for you on commission. Please let me know if interested.
