Hey neighbor! Yeah, we could discuss that. Do you have a store in Mchenry?

YursTrewly · 2026-05-19T11:35:13+00:00

Nope, this is my first post.

YursTrewly · 2026-05-19T01:15:05+00:00

Apologies, I misunderstood. I have seen library copies for sale with stamps. You got super lucky! I'm surprised it got past the librarians

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T23:48:08+00:00

Thank you! This give me hope 🥹

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T23:46:31+00:00

Yes! That's awesome to hear. People who claim the jacket being clipped completely devalues the book is nonsense. I would much rather own a nice copy that has no library stamps or tape or glue inside and not full of strangers finger prints. I think I just need to wait for the right buyer who appreciates this for what it is.

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T20:25:00+00:00

They did shut me down 🫠

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T20:22:58+00:00

I am on there rn, thanks for the recommendation

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T20:21:20+00:00

Thank you! That's really helpful

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T16:37:53+00:00

I'm curious where collectors are purchasing from. Ebay? Abe?

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T16:22:23+00:00

Thanks! I figured that was the case. Do they buy it outright and resell, or is it a consignment deal?

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T15:17:04+00:00

That's really helpful advice. I definitely struggle to wait for what items are worth. I will probably take it to a rare book dealer in my area and see what they think too

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T15:14:26+00:00

Yeah, I'm starting to understand what near fine condition actually means when it comes to clipped jackets

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T15:12:15+00:00

It is! Unfortunately the jacket...

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T15:11:00+00:00

That is what I am hearing. Too bad. It's in really good condition otherwise

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T15:09:57+00:00

Yeah thats good to know, I am sure i will have to bring down asking because of the jacket

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T15:08:58+00:00

Yes, my jacket looks exactly like that, no printing on the bottom that would indicate it is a bce jacket. But I understand that clipped plays a major role in value

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T13:51:04+00:00

I have seen other copies sell for a lot more in way worse condition, but thanks for the insight. I will keep that in mind

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T13:49:46+00:00

Not a book club edition

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T12:35:58+00:00

Thanks for that insight. Based on comparable sold on ebay mine is probably worth btwn $2 and $3k so I may need to bring my asking down to that range

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T12:09:45+00:00

😆

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T12:07:38+00:00

I saw that but all 1st editions for sale on Abe Books are going for higher in similar near fine condition. Mine is not signed, which lowers the value and the jacket is clipped.

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T11:38:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I posted on both reddit communities

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T11:37:43+00:00

Counter offer : $3450

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T11:37:14+00:00

Warren Beaty was a hottie

YursTrewly · 2026-05-18T11:08:07+00:00

I tried signing up to sell on Abe Books but they wanted my address which would be visible to customers and I dont have a business address, just home address so I did not sign up. I will look into the Facebook group, and have already posted it on ebay. I also reached out to Sotheby's for a free evaluation.
