Thread Name: Ann Veronica From: "JOSEPH HILL" <goodbooks@removed> Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 16:50:20 GMT I note that the Wells title is closing on ebay at a rather high price; is this a record for this book?......Pete...anyone? ------------------------------------- From: " Pete Chochele" <dchock7@removed> Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 17:38:04 -0400 Yes, I believe the $449 realization is a record for this title, which was in print from 1917-34. It is quite uncommon in DJ. I believe this particular one was from the ML Inc. period. What would a nice copy with a B and L DJ bring? Also, is it just me, or are there some big prices being paid for early jacketed ML books on ebay recently? ------------------------------------- From: "JOSEPH HILL" <goodbooks@removed> Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 22:42:18 GMT No, it's not just you, this is true in almost all fields of collecting. The common titles do not sell even at the lowest price, while the good stuff bring yet higher and higher prices each and every time a scarce title is offered. for sale; this is a very good lesson for the novice collector to master. As I have said before; when I started collecting the series , it was a poor man's hobby...now it has become a rich man's passion -------------------------------------
