Just received a original copy of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the wind" to sell on consignment for a friend. Researched open & closed auctions on ebay for info on this volume and come to the conclusion the price varies greatly as to the issue date & such info.
Isn't there a web site that specializes in the researching the value & collectability of these old books?
The Democrats ran on 'Honesty' and I told 'em at the time they would never get anywhere. It was too radical for politics. The Republicans ran on 'Common Sense' and the returns showed that there were 8 million more people in the United States who had 'Common Sense' enough not to believe that there was 'Honesty' in politics." --Will Rogers

There are many websites, but have you tried the Ebay book site for sellers first? If I think of the name of a couple I see regularly, I'll post it here.

Enter it into Barnes and Noble out of print books. Thre are quite a few listings and they have dates. Check the book and see what edition it is and how old the book is. That is important when writing your Title & description.

First, by "original edition" do you mean first edition, first issue?
According to McBride's "Points of Issue"
Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind" has the following points:
NY, 1936. CP: May, 1936 DJ:back panel:this title well down the list of 17 titles.
If it does not have these points, it may be an early edition, but NOT a first edition, first issue.
Might want to keep that in mind when listing. If those points are there -- definately put them in your description.
All the best,
Amy

Thanks all, including you Tomwii. And Tomwii you probably would have enjoyed your choice of books had you been able to understand all the BIG WORDS IN IT.
