Where to sell my books...good sources.

I have a few hundred highly collectable books, mainly Easton Press, signed first editions and limited editions, and a few other signed limiteds....

where's a good place to sell them? ebay, Alibris, Abebooks? or should i create a new website and put them up there? just wondering before i go through all the trouble of creating listings. i have a couple up on ebay right now but nothing is selling yet.

thanks for your advice.

I have only sold ONE book on E-bay...but when I look at Art Books etc on the Bay they always seem to go for more than they would sell for on ABE.....and way more than a dealer will give you.

I like nice and convienent, easy to use...so my guess is E-bay for no muss or fuss....and the price you should get is better than any other forum...

Irionically the most of one thing I have sold on the Bay is Art and with art it is so easy to be a fraudulant deal...yet I have had no problem with at least recouping my investment on items I had bought on the bay a short time previously...

I assume you know the value. If not "Bibliofind" might be a good source for comparison info. Also, you can contact dealers through the site and ask them if they are interested.......

Have found some interesting books there. One was "Automobile Troubles and how to remedy them" printed in 1915.
