Bound early editions

I have a set of bound editions in good condition which include 1913 tthrough 1918 and 1919 from January through June. I am looking for a value for these editions and would be interested in selling them.

I have not generally kept information for bound volumes, except to record the highest sales of same.

Additionally, I have only kept data for “eBay” sales newer than 1908 since August of 2012 with one exception – 1913.

This volume sale I recorded in 2010 as part of a large extraordinary leather bound collection that included Volumes I through XXIV (1913), by and large complete with all covers and ad pages.

The 1913 volume was the least expensive sale in that auction and sold for $79.95.

The rest of my records are since August of 2012 (I stress these are the “highest” priced sales):

1914 - $39.99

1915 - $74.95 (bound with front covers)

1916 - $60.00 (leather bound)

1917 – $24.95

No records kept for any other years.

Please note that binding/cover condition and supplement inclusion weigh heavily on desirability.

Hope this helps!
