Reply #2: And now some folks are learning another use for their collections.

In my life, I've sold several collections in times of need. I've never lost any money, and have made a good deal on most of them.

Just last year, I sold my collection of 18th and 19th century etiquette books, one book at a time, on ebay. I never paid more than $5 for any single book. Every one sold for more than $20, and one sold for $500. It was a good collection.

What good is a collection if it does not have some value?
