My copy of the Little Orange Book of Obsessions by Blake Crouch arrived today. It has a minor corner bump that we have come to expect, but it's not too bad. I've never read any Blake Crouch before so this will be my first exposure.

eBay shows a series 1 set selling for $310 last month and a series 2 set sitting unsold with a buy it now of $650. I would be shocked if Camelot gets anywhere near what they are asking.

I love Camelot but their prices on OOP stuff can be screwy. I'm a big fan of Scott Thomas, but no one is paying $800 for Cobwebs and Whispers. I think I got my own copy for fifty or sixty bucks.

The number for sets 2/3 would NOT transfer with the sale.
My advice would be to price at $30 a volume and add a Best Offer option (if doing eBay...OBO if private). Yes, there are some volumes in there that go for significantly more (Hill, Gaiman, etc.), but there are also some that I've seen struggle to sell on eBay for $20. Averaging out to $30 seems a reasonable place to start...let's face, that means $1350 for a set of books that don't come with the most sterling of reputations in the community..even $1350 could be a hard sell. If you have the slipcases, maybe $35, but I still think that's pushing it, and I don't think the matching number probably adds a great deal to the bottom line...just makes it more attractive to begin with, to attract interest. Realistically, if you're able to get an even $1000 for the set (which works out to $22.22 each), that's probably not a bad deal.
Or I could be way off.
Keep us posted...as I said, I'll be interested for future reference for my own set. Good luck!
EDIT: On reflection, I don't know, maybe I was a bit too conservative. Maybe such a set *would* be a player at $1500, which would be $33.33/ea. That might be a better opening gambit.Last edited by RonClinton; 09-14-2020, 08:08 PM.

Just a heads up--the Blake Crouch Little Book is available for payment for those who pre-ordered.

I received my pre-order notification from Borderlands for the Blake Crouch LITTLE BOOK on August 10. It says, "You will be prompted for payment for your order when your pre-order is released on September 12, 2020."
Hope that helps.
