Best way to sell Baseball books
 

Posted By: <b>vintagecatcher</b><p>I have decided to sell off my baseball library, and I'm curious as to what is the best way to sell off my collection.<br /><br />Any recommendations: Used books dealers, EBAY, Buy/Sell/Trade thread?<br /><br />Many of the books are oversized issues so mailing them could be quite costly.<br /><br />Thanks, Patrick

Posted By: <b>tbob</b><p>Patrick- I have found some success in selling books about pre-war baseball in the vintage sports cards section on ebay, unless of course the ebay police are out and bounce your listing for being in the wrong category.<br />Bob

Posted By: <b>Bob D</b><p>I had about 20 Reach BB Guides from 1906-1930 and originally thought I'd contact the 2-3 people who advertise in the SABR newsletter (forget their names). All offers I received were in the same price range ($200 I think). I decided to put 3 of the guides up for auction and got more for those 3 than I was offered for 20. Needless to say I sold the rest on ebay. And yes I had Libertyforall and his many permutations on my banned buyers list.
