I have a collection of valuable Edgar Rice Burroughs books plus artwork from Bruce Hogarth and others. I can download a XML file to whoever is interested.

What you do is list the collection in your booth and you do everything just right! Traits, Attributes, Keywords, 1st 250 words and Twitter, Facebook and all other promotion places. THEN you promote!
Be sure to change a little something in your booth and hit Update every 3 or 4 days so a fresh upload of your items go up to Google.
I have been amazed at the items that have sold in my selling booth as the buyers could have easily gone elsewhere like E.
There are a gazillion people that do NOT use E and just put in a generic search into Google.
Be sure to Google the collection yourself to make sure you are competitive in pricing the collection. If you want, go to E and check completed listings and get an average of price that collection sold for there.

I also see nothing in your booth, as I get redirected to the Bonanzle BUY page. If you have listed your ERB books here, then you need to activate your booth

Yes, you need to hit the ‘activate booth’ button in the ‘edit items’ page.
Definitely list here. Anyone looking for such item will go to google, and then see your bonanzle listing there (if your listing is formatted correctly for Google—see [URL removed] and scan issues on google and attributes, for starters).
You’ll save a ton on fees! :)

List it here on Bonanzle you never know!

The truth is when it comes to first editions you will do better with an Auction house. Edgar Rice Burroughs if the collection is complete will easily fetch $20,000. Depending on the number and condition of first editions. Reprints however are generally considered to be worth 25% of the list price when sold. The art work should be appraised there again it will depend on the edition and condition.
Most Bibliophiles use Christies in New York. Also check with your closest Antiquarian book dealer. They may give you the right price for all of it without the hassle.

You have an amazing collection! My husband has a collection as well – but you have some nice coveted books with the dustjackets! The DJs are so important with ERB….
I would list them in your store here if you have time. If not, an auction house that specializes in books (I can think of several off hand) would be happy to take it to market for you
