How To Determine The Value Of A Book

Bookride, a dryly funny and informative blog about the rare books trade, has a good entry about using the Web to check the value of a book. The mistake most people make when valuing books on the web is to take their price form the highest or the mid range. None of the books listed have sold and if you had to buy one you would choose the cheapest in decent condition; only a mad man would choose to pay more than necessary. Take your price from the low end of books in comparable condition.
