I have to sell old german songbooks!Please help me

Mon Apr 23, 2007, 2:15 AM

Mood: Eager
Listening to: Morning Musume

My old neighbour gave me some very old german songbooks and she would like to sell them. I took them with me to germany and asked in an antique shop what they would give me for those books and they said they didn´t want them and don´t know anything about what they could be worth T_T
So I would like to ask you: Has anyone an idea where I could sell those books over the internet or find out what they are worth? I don´t wanna put them into ebay cause what if they give me 3 euro for each and I have to give them away for that little bit of money?? Besides I have absolutely no idea what they are worth! My dad says the books aren´t worth anything but I can´t believe that, they are really old!
I love old books and there are many people who collect them.
They belonged to the grandmother of my neighbor and she is a grandmother herself now that means the books are really old, probably from the ending 19 th century.
I have number 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 from Franz Schuberts songs and ballads, printed in Braunschweig by the Henry Litolffs publishing company, which was founded between 1847 and 1860 and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys songs for a darker singing voice from the Breitkopf Härtel publishing company from Leipzig.

Has anyone a rich uncle who collects old books or an antique shop in the neighbourhood??? Or does anyone know an internet address where I could put the books in just for asking how much they are worth? I already looked through tons of pages but I´m really overasked. Please it would be great if anyone could help me!

Hugs you all around!

Oh my daytrip was great but exhausting and the old men sitting behind our seats began to drink alcohol at 6 o´clock in the morning

You don´t wanna know!

Sorry, I have no idea about it (and here I have bought, for example, an old edition of The Art of War, by Sun Tzu for little less than an euro)

I'm glad to know that the trip was good

and that man... gee... at 0600??? If I get there I'll do that man a favoy and drink all the alcohol myself, so it won't harm him XDDD

Perhaps you should search ebay for pricing advice for starters. There are also many other antique auction houses online that you could put these up on.
