A lot of info on the website is dubious at best and at least many authors of reference books are seasoned collectors if not the experts in their field.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure there are lots of fairly worthless antiques and collectables reference guides out there but some really do provide good value for the dollar especially if you are able to purchase them cheaply secondhand. Sure the prices give are likely to be rather optimistic and likely wholly out of date but you still can get a idea of what is rare and desirable. </p><p><br /></p><p>Reference books may provide a lot more value to collectors that want to exhaustively learn about the subject matter rather than resellers who may only want to do a quick search to see if they items they acquired are identified. Resellers who have a niche may also find it more worthwhile then more casual resellers to load up on books since you never know when online based information is going to disappear. In all I think I disagree with the Auction Professor.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
