Alsoldbooks

I set up Alsoldbooks shop on eBay in February 2008, to find good homes for the eclectic collection of books accumulated by my family over three person’s lifetimes. I soon discovered that since my time as an auctioneer in the 1980’s, book prices had plunged. A quick foray into book fairs cost both time and money, but achieved minimum sales. I perceived new opportunities to sell, thanks to the internet, and I warily entered the eBay auction learning curve.

From the very beginning I realised that in addition to sale by auction, Alsoldbooks would need a shop, where the more specialised books could be displayed on a long-term basis. Sadly, within 6 months of opening a shop the costs of running a small shop on eBay had risen so much that I was forced to shut my shop and look for a more affordable opportunity.

Alsoldbooks still sells on auction on eBay, but now has a shop on eBid.net where I can list as the mood takes me. I am selling a large number of books written in German; plus written in English I have especially books on history, historical biography, psychology and photography. However, the range is large and I will try to list something for everyone as I go.
