Subject: RE: Mudcat Auctions
I have a new book I've been meaning to auction. I'll go ahead and get the scan ready to send to Pene Azul. As mentioned above, the bulk of the proceeds will go to Mudcat. A little will go to the original donor of the book, because I want him to at least break even on the printing cost, so that will be the "reserve" price. And I'll pay the postage.

I've sold copies of books at Amazon, but I haven't fooled with Ebay. Amazon is pretty mixed up now, but Ebay is worse. Ask anyone in a library or a bookstore what "collectible" means or "first edition" means and it's pretty clear. But look at the listings online and they're a mess. No one follows the rules in listing their books any more. You're better off with the bookstores, even if they are more expensive. They at least have an idea of how to list their materials.
