AMAZON - the ones that got away

Anyone else got any 'loud groan' type stories to tell? I used to have a fondness for hospital romances - this was way back. Particularly Lucilla Andrews.

Anyhoo I started to read more widely and got a bit 'literary' and snobby about my former faves. I can't actually remember throwing any of them out, but I guess I must have because I haven't got any of them anymore. All this was long before I'd heard or thought of selling on Amazon.

Go take a look now at what the average Lucilla Andrews paperback sells for. Go on, just take a look.

LOOOOUUUD GROOOOOOOOOAN!!!

    I made a loss on a pristine hardback Jamie Oliver book from a charity shop which I put on ebay for 99p.

    Hadn't heard of selling on Amazon back then :(

    Console yourself with the thought that just 'cos someone's listing it, it doesn't mean they're selling it! I had some books on amazon for aaaaaaaaaages and then got fed up, listed them on ebay and they were gone in one auction.

  • I gave a Misty annual to a school sale years ago. They probably got about 20p for it. I've read they're worth about £20 these days.
