How can i tell if these are worth anything, i cannot find similar live or old listings on ebay.....

    I sold a book called How To Make Money from 1852, with a starting price of £10, in a single bid. Ironic title, but i suppose it was interesting enough for someone to decide to bid on. Made me wonder how much it was really worth.

    I would suggest trawling ebay and the other sites suggested here to get an idea. The better the condition and the more specialist the subject, the better. Things about politics or militaria etc are more likely to sell.
