Damien Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Just noticed 2 of the Allen Lowrie drosera books for sale on Ebay - anyone know what would be a reasonable price to pay for them please ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel van den Broek Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The old ones or the new (Magnus opus) ones? The new ones are about 35 GBP dependng where you order. The old ones...what somebody is willing to give for it. they are outdated and even if you don't accept all changes in the new ones many things do have changed and new species are added..so technically their value is about zero. Sentimentally/collectability value is something else...that is up to how deep the persons pockets are in relation to wanting to have it as a collectable..nothing objective about it. Keep in mind several sets became available when people bought the new ones and didn't want to keep the old ones....that sunk the rather inflated prices that were paid at some point when they where the only Aussie CP books available (besides Rica Erickson's Plants of prey).

Damien Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 They are from the 1980's - thanks for the info. I'll keep my eye on them and see how the bidding goes. It might be nice to add them to my little collection of CP books ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Crikey, they are over £20 each already and I haven't bid yet Edited July 8, 2015 by Damien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Crikey, they are over £20 each already and I haven't bid yet Last time I saw the first 2 volumes for sale they went for over £200 each Edited July 10, 2015 by Ares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel van den Broek Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 yes, but since the new ones are out thar is to crazy to even consider unless you collect for the collecting and not for the content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Final price was £123 for the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel van den Broek Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Hope the buyer is happy..but I would say the 20 each was a fair price.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
