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!

Is this collection still available?  Where are you located?  I'm in Bancroft, Ontario, Canada.

This collection is still available. I am located in Castle Hill, Maine USA

What other issues do you have?

Wendy

I only have those bound issues - 1913,1914,1915,1916,1917,1918 and January through June of 1919. There are 2 books for each year so a total of 13 books in all. If you are truly interested let me know.

Hi Sherry!

 

I am interested, but I think shipping from there is approximately $50.00 per 12 issues.  I'll have to wait to see if I can find some locally.

 

I'll keep you in mind, though.

 

Thanks!

 

P.S,  Do you know of anyone who comes to Ontario occasionally?

Hi Wendy,

I don't know anyone who goes to Ontario but do keep me in mind. I'm sure it would

cost quite a bit to send - perhaps there are alternate ways to ship for less - if I find

that is true I will let you know. Thanks for your interest - I would just like to see these

 end up with someone who can appreciate them!

Hi Sherry!

Thanks for your note.  I will keep you in mind.  Could you maybe inquire about how much it might cost to send one year at a time?  That might be better. 

Can you post photos as well?  My e-mail address is:  wendythrasher@sympatico.ca if you want to correspond that way.

My work address is (there's always someone there):    

c/o Pappy Auto Sales and Service, 29157 Highway 28 East, Bancroft, Ontario  K0L 1C0 Canada.

Thanks!

 

Wendy
