How to know value of books?

I have been left quite a few books from a friend in his will about bdsm, cp and some anal play.

I would like to get them valued. Can anybody on here help me find a place to pass them on as such. I am in the UK and I cant ship to the USA just england to get them valued. If any body can help I would be really pleased .

thanks gynoslave

Do you want them appraised for estate tax or income tax purposes? Most appraisers will simply tell you to just value them as plain old second hand used books which have little value unless they are REAL collectors items, which is unlikely with BDSM, CP or ANAL books.

It probably isn't worth sending them anyplace to be valued or appraised. Their values are not particularly high as new books, and you still have to pay for shipping and for someone to appraise the books. I'd say forget their values and selling them, just enjoy them.

We have a great deal of BDSM books, both how-to and some artistic photography books, most of which were not expensive as far as books go, and I'm sure they do not have significant "second hand" value, especially when you consider they have a small audience. Even if you had some that had moderate value, finding a buyer would likely be difficult.

Speaking of books - can anyone recommend a good site to 'buy' books that won't show up on my visa as something naughty? Also, what are some good books?

^^^^ I have gotten many BDSM technique and photography books from Amazon in the past. They still have them.

Here's an amazon link for BDSM in books:

I do most of my online book shopping at Amazon.com. They really do have the best prices and the selection is pretty good. Most of the others i buy come directly from the bookstore. i have a few friends who like to meet me there, and we sit in the isle for "sex books" and goof off, read, giggle, and just have fun.

I agree with the ladies that the selection at Amazon.com is very good for erotic books. It allows one to shop and browse interesting adult titles with a large variety without having to go into one of those, usually male dominated, porn stores. I usually order enough books to keep my mailman quite busy 😉.

Seriously, i want you all to know, if you have the guts to do it, in the ummmmm.... (thinks for a minute) Ok, next to the "Self-Help" and "Psychology" sections in Books-a-Million, there are several different Dominance and submission books and several different books related to that. i actually picked up a coffee table book on the History of Prostitution from there, and it's a BEAUTIFUL book. This is where my girlfriends and i sit on the floor, and look through the books. Single ladies? *HINT* We get a lot of attention sitting in the "sex book" section of Books-a-Million...lol.

Just a thought if you want to look over the books before you buy them. i am sorta picky about my books. i demand they all be hardcover and in good display condition. Part of my inner "freak" i guess. For anyone who hasn't tried visiting their local book store for "erotic" books, it's quite a rush if you can actually get yourself to do it. Me being an exhibitionist, i love it, but have had quite a time getting some of my friends to go with me. Once they give in and just enjoy themselves, they are hooked. i have regular dates with my BFF in Books-a-Million about every 2 months. Guess we are attention hogs, huh?

*smooches*

One thing that I hate about looking in the sexual area at any bookstore is that the employees always look at me as if I am diseases or something. Finally, about two months ago, I was shopping for one of these books and a very handsome guy, probably 25 asked me if I needed any assistance. I am sure that I turned all shades of red and she looked upon the shelf and suggested a title....

That still makes me giggle.
