    Welcome to the forum. Just a few points: You don't have any postage displayed or mention of contact about postage. Your list is one complete ball of information, you might want to separate them so that people can read the titles etc. As it's a job lot you should put in a description of how you got them and why you are putting them up for sale. Just my 2 cents.

    From what I can see you set the price at 250 Sterling, the price is entirely up to you.

    If I may say so your description is daunting, nobody will read it. It is in block capitals, makes you sound as SHOUTING.

    May I suggest your break it up into paragraphs and in lower case. Also check the spelling, presentation is so important.

    Just a few helpful tips.

    "Surely it can't be that bad" I thought. Oh dear, it really is.

    At least put each book on a new line.

    Are there really any rare books among them? 55 books for 250 quid, that's nearly a fiver a book on average. Put a few of those ISBN numbers into Amazon and check the second hand prices. Maybe there are some rare ones, in which case they're worth taking the trouble to list them separately.

    Or maybe they're listed on Amazon at prices like 1p (plus 2.80 postage).

    Good luck. It's worth taking a bit of effort. Otherwise you're better off taking them to the local charity shop.

    The price does look a bit high for the annuals but its up to you.
    i would have listed the annuals separately you may get more people interested.

    I picked two of the annuals at random, and put the ISBN into Amazon. Both cases there's used ones for 1p + 2.80 postage.

    Androm, perhaps some of them are of interest. Just because two of them are dross it doesn't mean they all are. You need to go through them all and see if there's any gems amongst them and list those separately. Then you can take the worthless ones to your local charity shop, they'll likely send them for pulping, which is better than having them end up as waste.

    Good luck.

    I see you now have 2 auctions running and they are a lot tidier. Just one small thing, you have listed both auctions as new when they are clearly used. You might want to change that.

    ROFL! Very sorry, I must search eBid for carbolic and wash my potty mouth out!

    Seriously though, what should we do with old annuals that are so common they're 1p on Amazon?

    I've recently acquired a box of stuff that dates back to my childhood (1950s), haven't gone through it yet, but I can see there are things like "Boys Bumper Book of ...", though not in brilliant condition. Will these be worth anything?

    Androm, Masters of the Universe, it would be good to include in the listing the publisher (Hutchinson?) and which country it was published in. It may be a first edition, if you could confirm that it would be a plus, but it doesn't look in great condition. But I'm no expert on books, so take my comments with a pinch of salt.

    some annuals are worth keeping early eagles, beano, dandy etc are worth keeping and can fetch a good price. the later ones from the mid 1970 on wards were printed in such high numbers that at the min are not worth much but and this is the big thing about UK comics and annuals the more that get pulped or just fall apart due to the poor paper quality and the fact that UK kids didn't look after there comics as well as the US kids did there are less of them about so the cost could rise and should rise due to there rarity.
