When I was moving back in June, I decided I had way too many cook books to move into my new place als so I spent two entire days going through them, deciding which ones I could part with. The following text (in italics) is the ad I placed. I had a lot of response but when it came time to actually sell them, I panicked and removed my ad. So basically I still have them all.....plus the other 400 or so that I had already decided that I needed to keep. These aren't even the "good" ones.
Here is the ad I placed for selling the books.
Cookbook Collection $300
I have been collecting cookbooks for over 30 years and I simply have accumulated more than I have shelf space for so I am offered this part of my collection for sale. Almost all of these books are in like new condition and many have never been used in the kitchen. I have listed the average used book price beside of each book. (I used Amazon and other booksellers and averaged the prices from that information) but I only did this for illustration purposes, as I wish to sell the entire collection as one lot. There will be at least 100 books total (counting the ones I did not list by title). Price is firm. Serious Inquiries only.
This is the list that I prepared for interested buyers....it took me 2 more days to look these books up and compile this information....
