After reading this I realise I'd seen a copy of the Sean Bean Autobiog last week when I was charity shop trawling, I dismissed it as not worth buying! :wall: Now I just have to remember which shop it was in, I think I visited about 12 shops that day.

Hurry back and get it! I have now sold 2 of these, and when I sold last one there was only 1 other listed.

Argh I can't get out shopping again until tuesday and I'll have to retrace my steps until I get to the shop where I saw it, I hope it's still there! All I know is I definitely saw it as I thought 'pfft, that won't sell'! :rotfl:

Thanks for the tip off Becky.

Just sold a copy of the Black Report, Inequalities in Health for £9.99.

Also How to be a Writer for £7.50 - Malcolm Bradbury.

Surprisingly, I've also sold a copy of the Chambers Word File (Pebble and Griffiths) for £8. Only one other listed.

Anastasia I also sold a copy of How To Become A Writer by Malcolm Bradbury, £7.99 and it went within hours of being listed. It's obviously a good seller.

Hi Maysie, I'm afraid that the ISBN for the Joyce Grenfell book wasn't recognised when I tried it, there were later editions that seemed to be selling for very little so I don't think that book will be your pension fund.
The other book is a better price and since it's in very good condition I'd put it somewhere in the middle at around £7.
To list a book as 'collectable' it has to be different from the others eg, signed by the author or a first edition, having said that you see some books put in collectable for no apparent reason....

If you put a zero at the front of this ISBN making it 0333194284, it should come up.

Just sold this for £9.99 to a Uni library having bought it for 10p at our local library yeehaw. I think its out of print and I was selling the only copy so its another one to look out for on your travels.

Second reasonable sale in 2 days which is unusual for me but very welcome.

Happy selling
