Mate, it cost me £90. Regularly sells for £100 plus- I don't think me asking £50 is particularly exorbitant.

If you haven't got anything constructive to say, please butt out!

Fair price. These are on ebay currently.

Thank you Trev.

I'm selling at well below 50% of the going rate.

Whether we like it or not, books that are rare increase in value. I'm certainly not going to sell a book for less then £50 when it cost me £90.

Sometimes the value of things change over time. I have some old wargaming books which people my age & older like & value, but I think in say 20yrs no one will want them.

I wouldn't say that (the only copy sold recently on Ebay went for £77) but £50 still looks like a reasonable price.

It's worth remembering how niche this and many wargames items are. I always pitch my prices below those of sold items on Ebay (not the crazy ones people think thier things are worth) and post things here "just in case" as I don't expect to sell them often in this relatively small pool.

You forget; you have to add "very rare" and "scarce" to get that sale!

I've seen things listed with inflated prices with those descriptors added which are still in production, and genuinely scarce OOP items where the seller doesn't have a clue what they are and sells them for a pittance....

There is definitely some psychology in selling - having a "buy it now" and "bid" prices with very low starting bids can result in a bidding war which exceeds the buy it now price, or mean a low bid takes it. I have had the experience of winning on a low bid and the seller very quickly refunding when they never arrive, claiming " must have got lost in post" where you cannot help suspecting they were never sent......
