We sold a 1950s half-bound Encyclopaedia Brittanica recently on ebay
for the minimum of £1. There was only the one bidder! and he even
baulked at paying the packaging costs as we'd only mentioned the actual
cost of carriage in the advert. We'd expected that the winning bid
would be enough to more than cover such incidentals. It would have been
cheaper and far less effort to drive the two dozen heavy volumes to the
skip.

Lucky you! The stuff I've been interested in has generally had a high
reserve or starting price. No bargains.
