Hey everyone,

I was looking at selling some books to online used bookstores.

Since I've already bought my piano, I put in the ISBN for the Larry Fine '08-'09 Supplement...

And just about fell out of my chair. I'm finding places offering me $40-$50 for it (I bought it when it came out, for probably $20 on Amazon).

So - I started looking at Amazon and Half.com, and people are selling their used copies for $100-$200 (well, they're *asking* that much - I'm not sure if they're *selling*).

What's going on?

Is there some secret reason that I should hold on to the book? Or is it just that it's the most recent print version, and is now out of print?

Thanks!

Got mine on ebooks for about $15.00 US. You have to read it on-line though

Didn't you see where it said that was the copy owned by Horowitz?

wink LOL Must have missed that part!

Well, I gave it some thought and really couldn't justify keeping the old version, since I'm not in the piano business and likely won't be buying a second piano anytime soon... and since the *older* copies all seem to be worth much less...

I missed the store that was offering me $47 (drats) - but still got $30 for it. Checked my Amazon history and only paid $13.50 for it - so I think I did ok. Who knew the book-of-piano-prices would be an actual investment that would end up giving me >100% return though! I should have bought extra copies!

No need to be unnecessarily embarrased the next time a pianophiliac comes to your house.

I have the last 9 or 10 Supplements to the PB. Obviously, a complete collection like this is worth more than ten times the price of a single copy.

The complete series is available to the highest bidder, but no less than $500 will be considered. Please send your offer to ganif@brooklynbridge.com

Its "gonif" not "ganif".

Take it from me.
