Online Book Collecting Tips
Collecting old books is a great pastime and can be a great investment. However buying collectable books online can be both frustrating and expensive. The following tips may help you to achieve what you want more easily. 1. Decide what sort of collection you want. Do you want an investment or do you just want a collection of all the books in the series no matter what condition they are in. In my view you would not be reading this if you were not interested in books in good condition or better. 2. If you can, do a bit of research to see what prices the various books ( publishing dates and conditon ) are selling for before you start bidding. 3. Be wary of advertisements that describe a book as in very good condition except for a ripped spine, or its only got one defaced page etc. If a book has a damaged spine, ripped pages, or is defaced in any way it IS NOT in good condition let alone very good condition. 4. Make sure you check what the postage and packing costs are - you might find a book going cheap and think you are getting a bargain, only to find the postage and packing costs are way too much. 5. If you are looking at a book in an online auction and are serious about bidding, wait until the auction is just about to close to enter your bid, bearing in mind that others will be as well. Experience pays off here. 6. Be careful when you look at the picture of the book on the description page of an auction site or catalogue - it is possible the picture is just a stock photo and not of the actual book itself. If in doubt ask the seller. Have fun ! |
