Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 10:28 pm You'll be up to fifty in no time, it's more to make sure people are here to share the joy and not milk the contacts and I for one actually appreciate it for the most part. It's a great community with a wide knowledge base. Even the arms dealers have a sense of humour here. Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 10:33 pm I dont care enough about the author to pay that kind of price. Have a place in PEI but to me she is schmaltz. But D E Lake in Toronto is a reputable dealer in this kind of stuff. They have regular auctions of rare Canadiana books. Montgomery is a decent seller I think. Report this Post to the Staff
secoinedchance Valued Member Canada 451 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 10:41 pm Yes she is, but like said in an earlier post, I've had a weird experience with an "agent" who asked for 50% of the selling price, which would've been wholesale anyways, because it was to another dealer, for basically, setting up a meeting with this other dealer. This book is part of my inheritance, and I know the value of it to the right person. I felt like this agent thought that I had just fallen off the turnip truck or something. 50% of wholesale pricing....! I turned around and told him that I wouldn't be willing to go any more than 25% and it would have to be fair market value price. Needless to say, I never heard from him again, which is fine. P.E.I is beautiful. Spent a week in New Glasgow. Played 36 holes a day......what an awesome place. Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 10:55 pm This kind of material is always tricky. There is a "wholesale" price and a "retail" price. But it is a thin market. It could sit on a dealer's shelf for years. I would not be too harsh about criticizing a cash buyer of the book at a decent price. While it theoretically might have a big retail value, she is not Hemmingway. I would ask someone like Lake what they think it would sell for or what they would pay for it.
