New Category: Author-Direct Signed Books!

We have a new category for author-direct signed books. The author can be from any field, not just literature.

This is the new category: https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/categories/author-direct-s...

Please read the first discussion, by me, and give us your input on organization and rules.

Thanks!

A separate athlete section is definitely worth it.

This is a good idea... Thru the mail section would be cool with a spot for posting successful addresses. That's something I've wanted to try more.

I agree. I recently sent off a book of an author (political) and got it back signed in about a month and that for a busy busy guy.

I was just wondering if anyone has come across a site for selling books that is similar to the way one can sell music on Discogs. I have had a fairly dramatic change of circumstances, I'm now a single parent and I need to sell off my collection of books which includes signed Obama (both), Bowie, Springsteen, Grohl, Joni Mitchell and so on.

Thanks

Your best bet for selling off a collection would be ebay. You pay commission on sales, yes, but it costs nothing to list items, you have access to useful metrics and you are in control of your listings. You can list at fixed price and enable offers if you wish.

Now is a good time to be doing it because the Christmas shopping season has started.

Hi Andrew, I can be a very interested buyer but this is not the thread to be discussing this. Can you email me privately?

Yeah, I would second this. I used a private consigner to sell a handful of books in the past, but if I were ever to sell my books (I don't want to at this time), I would either go through Facebook Marketplace or Ebay. If you have the time, Abebooks is a good resource, but books over there tend to move slow.

Oh nice list! My fiance is a die hard Bowie fan (tattoos and all) and she’d flip at that. Let me know where you list and I’ll take a look, thanks.

Here's an important question: Should we make these private groups so only members can see them or keep them public? By making them private members have a better chance of getting them.

The authentication section will be public.
