    Hi folks, I've decided to go through my office, re-arrange the space, and clear out a lot of books from my collection.

    There are 34 total here, I have a spreadsheet documenting the Titles, Authors, Publishers and Print Date, and to verify, all known ISBNs are included too (or appropriate country code). I can email that too interested parties (it won't upload an Excel?).

    I included a price list from Amazon for each title (one off eBay), then looked at the lowest priced option for that book (except a few of the rarer books, those I tried to split at a number somewhere in the middle of "worth"). I then deducted a good % off each "retail" number, to arrive at the price, then tallied it all up.

    I am selling the collection as one whole piece, shipped together in one box, and shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer in addition to the price. Again, I am not piecing out any of the books, so please do not ask to pick and choose.

    If you're near by Connecticut, you're more than welcome to come look and/or arrange pickup.

    The price is $900.00 USD, not incl. shipping.
    (in the meantime, I'll get a total weight)

    I also have individual photos if people would like to see those too.

    Well I just noticed this thread!!

    There's a lot of great titles there, (I own a lot of them!)

    The John Barnes book is really cool, beautiful art work, by the publisher of Cavallino...

    I guess eBay will be the way to go.
    GLWS.

    Where is the Lusso one?
    I would be interested in adding that.....

    Well don't mess up the auction to break the set....

    You are probably low, on the value of all of them.

    The Finn TR book is almost $200 alone.
    It's an interesting read, too....

    The Pouret GTO250 is also an expensive title in the vintage market.

    I have the Ferrari at Lemans already.

    But like the Nuvolari book, anything by Nada Editori goes hugely valuable once out of print.

    I will wager a reseller gets wind of your sale and hits it!
    Don't change anything on my account.

    Lets see what happens....the Fchatters miss the ball on this one.
    But good of you to offer here first!

    It would be a PITA to list them all individually....LOL!

    I am moving whiskey decanters now, to get all my library into the shelves, before the new gf visits.

    My apartment is rare glimpse, into the chaos of my mind...

    Here. lets just drink this Patron..
    :D :D :D

    I know, I know...But I don't want to go through the hassle of splitting them all up :/


    You'd think someone would want to add to their collection, for realistically cheap!


    Oh well. We shall see :)
