More books
Sep. 21st, 2011 05:36 pmThe Red Cross shop manager tells me that the cricketing biography that I repriced to £8 on Monday has sold already.
I went in again today and did a few hours this afternoon wading through the back stock. Had a load of good fishing books donated, so put them out to replace the gardening books. Gardening never sells very well at our shop, and it sells best in Spring when it sells at all.
More annuals in, most in very good condition and dating to the 1970s. Value seems to range from £3 to £7. Sounds expensive, until you reckon what you'd pay for a new annual coming out this year. Then, it sounds very reasonable. Modern annuals, even in good condition are only worth one or two pounds. That's nostalgia for you.
