Fishing Books

[mark barrett]

i was speaking to a dealer that has a shop in the next village and he was after my mates copy for £150. so i would advise your mate that it wants around that as a reserve (if its in good nick). i would expect that it will go for around £180- £200!

by the way the three rob maylin books that you have got went for £175 at the weekend.

 

i have had a go for that book but i am highest bidder at nearly £90 and it aint made reserve. the guy that has got it knows what its worth so there wont be a bargain there

Another one here. Reserve met but Chickendansak's there again.

I was offered £125 for River Piking by John Sidley.

 

How much is it actually worth?

What's a copy of the Art of Lure Fishing worth now?

 

I've got two copies of Sidley's book so I hope they are worth £125.00!!

 

Laughable really! How much are they really worth :confused: ?

I don't think even Nev Fickling's book aspire to such dizzy heights!! Perhaps I'll put my copy on E.Bay!!

[mark barrett]

cheers matey i shall snipe him this time if i can!!!

[mark barrett]

its certainly worth over £100 pete, but then again its actually only really as worth as much as anyone will pay for it, as the greedy bar steward found out that put the last perch book on, it didnt sell!!!

[Peter Waller]

This first edition thing makes me laugh. If the Art of Lure Fishing (1st Edition) is worth over £100.00 then so be it! But you can buy a current edition as an invite to join a book club for a more realistic £4.00!!

 

Or were you refering to the Sidley book Mark?
