There really isn't any statistical data, especially recent data, on the
used book market for something like this. Try listing it on ABEBOOKs or
some such venue, for the maximum you think you can get. Be prepared to
wait awhile to sell it. Remember that $900 or so is a lot for most
individuals, but not necessarily for a library or institution. If it
does not sell, lower the price.
That's what used booksellers do. But if you ask one of them to carry it
for you, they will want about 50% as a cut, and if you're only going to
take 50% of the value you could easily sell it directly to someone.

I'm thinking about selling a book I have entitled "Medieval European
Jewellery" by Ronald Lightbown. I know this isn't exactly a costume
book, but it's certainly an accessories book. :) It's long out of
print, and won't be reprinted as far as the V&C Museum is telling me.
Anyway, I've tried finding a good asking price for this book, but
Alibris and ABE Books and a couple other book-search sites come up with
nothing. Last time I saw one for sale was about three years ago, and
the bid was more than $950. Anyone have any good idea where I can find
the value of this book? It's in very good condition and still has the
intact dust cover.
