My brother has a hugh collection of rare books. What is the best way for him to sell them?

My brother is retired and has collected rare books for years. He has rare sets of books, etc. Is E-Bay the best way to go. He doesn't know much about the internet so needs some advice.

the first thing you need to do is see how much they are worth. then you could sell them on e-bay, but for how much they are worth. if not e-bay, you could always have a yard sale and sell it there. but if you do put them on e-bay, you should leave the date on the book and say how much its worth. but do not sell the book for under what it is worth, then other people will buy them and then they will sell them for more getting them more money. you said he doesn't know much about the Internet? here is what you do: 1 take a photo of the books ( you can sell them all together or apart) 2 go on www.e-bay.com and if you don't have a account make one. 3 go to sell or it should say something like that. 4 upload the photo. 5 then all you have to do is put down the price and like i said how much the book is worth and the date on the book. then you just wait till someone sees it. i hope this helps :-)

a regular auction with a place that specializes in rare books will be the best way to go - most people on ebay look for flea market bargains, not rare collectibles

he should have them appraised first to find out their worth. Then if listing on ebay give a good starting bid. Why sell something for little if it is worth a mint

Take it to a really good librarian let her check it out then find out then maybe she can pay u or something
