<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 70551, member: 201&quot;]I chuckled at your description. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have some 19th century illustrated books that are scarce or rare and quite valuable if in great condition, but my copies have significant binding defects. I haven&#039;t decided yet whether I should have them repaired or rebound and try to sell them via the big auction houses or sell them myself, unrepaired, on eBay. </p><p><br /></p><p>The latter would be quicker, without the bother and risk of laying out money for repairs, but the former might yield much more in the long run. Plus I have other scarce/rare books of the same genre that are in great condition, so having them repaired and then offering them all together to an auction house might be the way to go. Not sure yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for going off on a tangent. These issues have been in the forefront of my mind lately while I&#039;ve been researching my books and cataloging them in a spreadsheet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
