Answering a book friend's question about "those old books are collectible nowadays"
The value of old books lies in their uniqueness and scarcity. A book with a print run of 10,000 copies, even if it costs 0.5 yuan or 0.2 yuan, should not be wanted. Because the printing volume is too large, the shopkeepers compete at lower prices, and it is very difficult to sell.
With a print run of 5000 and a book that is valuable and meaningful, and has not been reprinted in the future, such a book is worth money.
For example, if the second-hand book price in our store is 99 or 100 yuan, even if you have read it, there are lines and the cover is broken, and someone still buys it. Where there is demand, scarcity is valuable. If it's not scarce, it's not worth much.
Things are vaguely expensive, thousands of years of ancient teachings.
However, according to my experience in playing books in the past five or six years, the collection is either exclusive at the beginning, or it is a full-scale net. There are comic books in the special collection category, but this has been hyped up, and ordinary people can't afford to play, and I only have four or five thousand comic books in my hand, and there are not many high-quality ones. According to my current inference, martial arts novels are a potential stock, because of the rise of online novels, martial arts novels have become a thing of the past, but for many nostalgic people, it is the same as comic books, has entered a good collection period, the most important thing is that the price of martial arts novels is not high now, and the general old book stall is only three or five yuan a book, of course, we must pay attention to the three main points of collecting martial arts novels, first, quality, second, publishing house, third, is it a boutique martial arts. You don't expect it to appreciate in general rotten martial arts. A hint, the general glamorous old martial arts are very valuable, especially those who are fake Wolongsheng, you know hehe.
In the collection of martial arts novels, Jin Yong's martial arts are the mainstay, and Jin Yong's martial arts are divided into mainland versions, and Hong Kong and Taiwan versions, but the Hong Kong and Taiwan versions are hundreds larger, ordinary people can't afford to play at all, it's best to play the mainland version, Baowentang and Sanlian are the best, especially the illustrated version has the most appreciation potential.
In addition to martial arts novels, the first novels and masterpieces of contemporary famous writers are also very collectible and appreciated, such as Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain", Jia Pingwa's "Waste Capital", and Mo Yan's "Transparent Carrot", the first hardcover of these books has now exceeded 300.
Generally speaking, the value of 50 to 66 is greater than that of 76 to 8-9, and the books after the nineties are basically pirated, the content is impetuous, the binding is lazy, and there are not many good books.
Well, in short, there are too many books that can be collected, and I will explain some specific content to you in the book, so I won't bother to talk here. In short, if you want to treasure for used books, just read this novel, although it is a novel, most of it is my own experience of buying books, as well as books that have been sold before......
