OVER THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN ABLTO FIND IN CHARITY SHOPS SOME REALLY GOOD BOOKS, I LOOK FOR FIRST
EDITIONS OR SIGNED NOT ALWAYS VERY OLD EXAMPLE
ARTHUR JORDAN
STARTFORD-UPON-AVON & MIDLAND RAILWAY
"THE SHAKESPEAR ROUTE" OXFORD PRESS 1982

AND
THE VICKERS BROTHERS EUROPA PRESS
AND MANY MORE LIKE THIS
EBAY IS GOOD BUTI WAS TOLD TO TRY BOOK
BUYER/SELLERS OF ANTIQUATED BOOKS
BUT WHY BECAUSE I AM FEMALE, I CANT GET ANYWHERE
WITH SUCH DEALERS,
ONE BOOK I HAVE 1895 FIRST ED POLO AND HUNTING IS
WORTH A LOT,I WAS OFFERD FIVE POUNDS
AND CALLED THE LITTLE LADY

AND I DID SLAM THE SHOP DOOR ONTHE WAY OUT

I wouldn't worry about it. Dealers will always try to buy at rock bottom prices and sell at a profit, no matter what they are dealing in. They have to make a profit - it's their business.

I would try to target the specialist dealers for books like you describe - an ordinary antiquarian book dealer wouldn't shift something like that very quickly.

For online sales, Barter Books is as good as anywhere.

BARTER BOOKS
I ADMIT I HAVNT COME ACROSS THEM
I WILL LOOK
I'LL LEAVE THREAD HERE FOR A MOMENT

LOOKS BRILLIANT.PHONEDTHEM.,
WOULD HAVE TO GET THEM THERE

BUT ONLY DO VOUCHERS TO EXHANGE
FOR OTHER BOOKS.

I THINK I WOULD BE LYNCHED IF MORE CAME IN
