FactsAreUseless posted:Most people have no idea what books are worth at all. We would get people trying to sell us poo poo at insane prices because "it's rare." Luckily we had a great pricing person, but I'm not shocked the B&N guy doesn't know what he's doing. None of his managers would know enough to know he's doing it wrong. I blame shows like those storage locker auction things where they see a box of books and say "man look at all these old books, I'll value the whole pile at 10-20,000 dollars" without even looking at what they are. My understanding is if a book isn't a first printing and/or very rare+signed it's generally not worth much of anything at all. Same with records - they see one that sells for a few thousand on pawn stars and next thing they do is load up their entire beat up old record collection and have it "appraised" and get pissed when they get offered like 5 bucks for the whole pile.
