Bukowski Items for Sale

Hello, I'm selling my Bukowski collection, see attachment. I bought the broadsides and poem directly from Red at his shop and some others from John Martin at Black Sparrow Press. I have original invoices.

I'm not sure of the values although I have done some research over the years. Let me know if any is of interest, I'm motivated to sell.

Hello all, newbie and asking for advice, I have a collection of Bukowski I would like to sell. Should I list them individually or the whole lot? Where should sell, eBay or...? Also, is there a way to get the collection appraised?

I've attached the collection to this post.

I bought all the books and broadsides directly from Black Sparrow Press or from Red's Baroque Bookstore in the late 1980's-1990's. Have many original invoices and packaging from BSP, if that matters. Broadsides are framed for display. Chapbooks contain Bukowski writings where indicated.

Thanks in advance!
