I've got a copy of The Annals of Conjuring by Sidney Clarke, the one published by Magico in 1983. In excellent condition. Anyone have an idea what it might be worth?

It's gone now.
BTW, the info I posted was accurate as of April 2010. The economy has really tanked the value of collectibles. Example -- 2 years ago, a set of Paul Fox cups (by Danny Dew) in excellent condition would have brought upwards of $500. Now they sell for about half that. Books and posters are performing about as well.

That's a bit lower than it would have gone for about 5 years ago.

I'll say.
As part of the same Martinka auction, a set "Soirees Fantastiques" went for $811, and an entire set of the Albo books went for $1,895. Definitely a sign of the times... |

Somebody out there recently spent $7500 for a poster at a Potter auction, so someone has deep pockets.

I have the David Copperfield's Project Magic Handbook(NOT the plastic comp). I saw it on amazon about six months ago going for almost $300($275.00 I believe). Any info on this?
Psychic Escape
Man has an invincible inclination to allow himself to be deceived and is, as it were, enchanted with happiness when the rhapsodist tells him epic fables as if they were true, or when the actor in the theater acts more royally than any real king. So long as it is able to deceive without injuring, that master of deception, the intellect, is free; it is released from its former slavery and celebrates its Saturnalia. It is never more luxuriant, richer, prouder, more clever and more daring. - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche |

Putting a price on a used magic book is not always an easy task. The method I use relies on past offers and sales. For the last 20 years, I compiled prices from various sources. The data I have were made available on-line to all subscribers of my mailing list.

A copy of Soirees Fantastiques went up for sale a week ago on the Genii Forum for $1,099.00. This book was roughly $750.00 when it first came out in the early 1990s. Don't know if it sold.
