----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I'd be curious in hearing a response to this question as well. I do use o/p catalogs for book values but such prices would not be practical for a local library sale. I am holding valuable duplicates--books over $75 each--to make available to an o/p dealer for possible sale. Inexpensive items I place on a special shelf in the FA Library and give them away to students and faculty. I have not found it cost effective to sell such material.
