I just scored a pile of books I'll be listing in Classified once they get shipped to me, the highlight is "Elephant and Seladang Hunting in the Federated Malay States" by Hubback as nice as the one Trophy Room has, one or more American Firsts of Stanley, several Boone and Crockett firsts, a signed copy of Keith's "Gun for Company", a Sutherland first and a whole bunch of Amwell Press Limited Editions. All the hunting and Africa exploration titles will be run on AR before they are listed elsewhere, but what I need to know is should I run the Western Americana stuff here?

I’m drooling...

Me too. Did I mention the signed O'Connor and the special numbered #1 set of "The Best of Sheep Hunting"?

For the ones Trophy Room has I'll just price them about 60-75%, for the rest I'll do the same with ABE Books prices, so where TRB wants $2800 for "Elephant and Seladang Hunting" I'll take $1800-2000 after making sure of condition.

Since there doesn't appear to be any interest I'll be pulling the ones I listed and moving them to ebay Sunday night.

Best of luck on your sales. I can not partake at this point due to medical costs but I wish you well.

I guess I had it backwards, with books of this quality I thought AR first then eBay what didn't sell, instead I'll eBay them first and run the leftovers here.

What is your eBay name? I will make sure the follow your listings and hopefully pickup a couple.

Thanks,

I'll be listing most with the "Best Offer" option, if you send an offer be sure to let me know you're from AR.

Happen to have a copy of “Cairo to Cape: Four Afoot Across Africa”, by Edwin S. George?

No, but I recently saw that Title in an auction I was bidding in, been trying to track down which one since I saw your post but haven't found it.

Good luck selling them I am trying.to sell my book collection.of old safari books too .
I keep buying more than I sell .Hopefully I sell off all my extra copies .Auction houses bring deficient prices and you can sell the whole lot of them.
