An acquaintance here in Norway wants to sell the two books mentioned in the title of this thread. It seems he found them in the student bookshop here in Norway back when they first were published. Didn't know that Black Sparrow sent out numbered & signed editions to shops. Maybe they just did it in Europe. Nice gesture it seems. If its true.
Anyway, he wants to sell them now and I want to give him a fair+ price:
"War All the Time" is signed & numbered nr. 279
"Barfly" is signed & numbered 256.
I trust the guy 100%, so I'm sure he hasn't doctored the signature. I'm also certain that he bought the books himself - he has a big collection of stuff. He's loosing his sight now and just doesn't have any use for them any more. (Luckily there are plenty of audiobooks out nowadays.)
Well, prices on ABE vary from $325 to £650. Could any of you collectors out there give me some tips on a fair price to give? What makes the prices vary so much?
Thanks
