Re: [lace] Re: Milanese books

[The Lace Bee]

Jane is absolutely right here. Someone sees that there is interest in a book 
and the price goes up resulting in no one buying it. The author gets nothing 
for a second hand book, the lace maker can't afford to own and use it and the 
seller ends up with an unsold book. 

However hubby suggested that this is more likely to be speculation on  the 
sellers part. Put a book up for oudles of money that you don't have and if some 
mark is stupid enough to ask to buy it then you can afford to go get a copy. 
The other thought hubby had was it creates an artificial price rose for other 
lace books so the seller can add a few extra pounds to less rare craft books 
and say that this was because lace books are going for such high prices.

They might be listed at silly prices, but do any actually sell? Everything is 
only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay, no matter what value someone 
else (expert or not) puts on it.

Reading Witchy Woman's post I am so glad I bought two of the Read/ Kinkaid and 
one Read Milanese books at the time when they were a sensible price, I love 
these books but no way are they worth $200 each and I wonder what it is that 
actually warrants them fetching that sort of price?

Just a couple more - Mrs Read's introductory lessons from Lace were
republished by the Lace Guild, and have now been joined by her Alphabet, good
value at GBP5 and 6 respectively; I assume plus P+P.

Kind regards
