Pricing my signed, L.E. L. Ron Hubbard books
My Grandmother recently died and left a few L. Ron Hubbard books to the family. I have been trying to figure out how much we can get for them, but so far have not had any luck. Is there a place online where I could go to find out how much I should ask for these books? Or maybe a place where people post want ads/ sell ads? These books cost a lot in the 80s (3300 apiece for the two Battlefield Earths I have) so I need places where people are willing to drop some serious cash (hopefully).

It sounds like you probably have one of the limited leatherbound copies, which are more expensive than the standard books.. though nowhere near $3300.

Is your copy signed and numbered in a slipcase? I found one of those for sale for quite a bit. The problem is, this would be a rare, but very low demand, collectible.
Your best bet is to find a book dealer who sells stuff like this and ask them what they'll give you. Chances are it will be but a fraction of any price you see online.
Good luck!

Try Alibris (www.alibris.com). I've bought a lot of OOP books from there in the past. I've never sold there, so I have no idea what kind of pricing you can get.
Edit: You could also try Powells. They are a huge bookstore in Portland, Oregon. I try to drop by whenever I'm out that way. I know they buy a lot of OOP/collectible books as well.
