Where to sell antique books 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago Karma: 0
My uncle died and left me a lot of old antique books. They are all antiques. most of them are from the 1920s and 30s but some are from the 1800s. I don't know what to do with them. They are old so they have to be worth some money.

Hi, Scooter,

Books are not necessarily valuable because they are old. There are many old books that have very little value. There is a wealth of information on the Internet that might be of some help.

One good source is eBay. If you search on eBay for the book, then click on Completed Items on the left sidebar, you will get a page that lists all completed auctions for that book. There you can find auctions where the book actually sold and see the price it sold for.

The actual value of the book could be higher or lower depending on a lot of factors, but that will give you an idea.

You can also find information on sites such as addall.com and bookfinders.com.

Remember, condition is everything. When checking the values, make note of the condition of the book listed on the Internet and compare it to the condition of your book. If your book is in better condition, yours could be worth more.

Also, books from the 20s and 30s are vintage, but not antiques. Antique books are those that are over 100 years old.

This is a very brief answer to your question, but I hope it points you in the right direction.
