High-Value Stuff You Didn't Know You Had

[Skip]

Ummm ... damn. I have like 4 copies of Clawson. I knew they were in high demand and likely to go up in value but ... hell ...

You should sell one or two! Cash in before they reprint.

I knew the "big book" was a lot of money but I no idea the little one would be so much. The little book is perfect in my opinion. I got mine mail order from Karl Karash several years ago and he included his copyrighted collection pics.

It was a limited print run which was why I was sure it would go up in value. For some reason, he seems to like the business model of small limited print runs when he feels like updating it. Doing a reprint would probably involve much more than we think.

Control + P?

If there's money it, he should be able to make it happen. Price it at $60 and I'm sure it would still sell.

Mine is the 2nd edition, third printing (2004).

Not sure I'd pay anywhere near that though, unless I planned to sell it off later.

I know I wouldn't. I paid $35 + $4 SHI in 2009. I actually still had the invoice on the inside cover of the book from when I bought it off eBay.

I gave up trying to find Clawson books at a reasonable price. I have several of the Edward Scott Meadows and Poyer 1911 books. They were reasonably priced, still are, and seem to have pretty much the same info.

I had two second editions of "The Rifleman's Rifle" by Rule. I decided to sell one so I looked online for pricing and crap, they were selling on Amazon for like $350 to $400. I put it on Craigslist for $450 and sold it to a guy in Canada within 48 hours. I kept one copy and since they printed the soft copy for $100 my remaining second edition is worth maybe $250 now. I have other shooting and military books from the 1940s through the 1960s stashed in boxes in the garage. Next time I move I will have to make the effort to sort through them. Anybody want to buy my 1960s and '70s Playboy collection?

I don't remember Playboy from the 60s and 70s having gun pictures in them.

Remember,we are ALL temporary curators.
This reminds me of the $700.00 Corvette on craigslist.

Good story behind it. http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2016/5/3...lions-7733797/

You would correct but Hugh Hefner and Playboy came out on the side of the second amendment being an individual right.

Apparently an hour of my life is worth exactly $16.50. So that's cool.

I just sold a 4th Edition of the "Machine Gun Dealer's Bible" on GB for $250. I had no idea these books were so much in demand until I started looking at where to price it.

Holy Cow! I'll have to see what my second edition is worth! I'd sell it in an instant for that. Got a bunch of "Machine Gun news" mags too...
