Do you actually enjoy owning the books though, knowing they need to be within reason, in vgc to get the top prices 
No dust/light, scratches/tears/dings/marks etc etc, got to read them on a felt pad, wearing gloves, read & repackage, can't smoke or own pets...
and the worse thing, you'll probably not even get a copy because 'collectors' will buy them by the dozen to drip feed the market (I don't blame them though).
My copy of Tels 1st book is in vgc and it actually went on the bank with me
I'd of love to get a 1st copy of TTM but the debacle of webbies crashing on release and then books being sold out actually stopped me buying them.
Only book I've bought recently was Bob Roberts Mighty Trent.

Same. That's where most of the reading gets done! I don't buy books for resale purposes though. Buy them to read and enjoy wherever that may be. I think actually reading print is so much better than on a screen. Something that already seems fairly alien in this day and age!

Anyone else think the seller is the OP and just trying to bump the price 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣

I've never bought anything, apart from property, thinking about it's future value and I very much doubt I'll be selling any of my books. It'll be my son that will be rubbing his hands lol.

I went through my collection last year when I was bored and searched latest sold prices on eBay, came to nearly 3 grand, most have only been rad once.
The price of these books, I have a small fortune in a old suitcase sitting here. And thats with out the set I lost many moons ago to a crazed ex.

Absolutely right Mark. My son has asked me to list things with an approximate value at some point. I've got a few cased fish and stuffed birds and animals dotted around the cottage. Obviously not to most people's taste, but worth a few quid to the right person.
I would undoubtedly have done the same with that watch as you have lol

When terry released the 3rd book and the big hoo haa about crap packaging
I had one of the damaged ones that they replaced so actually have 2 copies of that lol
Still have a load of books in packaging that were bought when released that I haven't got round to opening yet.
