Just wondering if those who frequent militaria fairs would think it was worth my while booking a stand at one and trying to sell off some of my book collection. Don't think there's any mileage in using eBay any more as books don't seem to sell for very much if at all. I see there's a fair at Newark coming up next month. Any views?
A year or so ago I hawked the books that I have written and printed on my computer, around a few authors and local historians. The local historians were very sympathetic suggesting that I emulate them by having the books professionally printed to sell at local fairs. Having occasionally watched "Money for Nothing" I concluded that people attending fairs south of the Thames have more money than sense and those further north (like myself) are misers who wouldn't know a "Bargain" if they saw one!
I went to a couple of fairs recently (Yate near Bristol was one) where there were people selling books, but I wouldn't expect to move a lot of copies I am afraid. The books which seemed to sell were quite specialised. I've sold some on this site in the past, and also via Facebook. The postage and packing is a bit of a pain, but it might be worth considering.
