Liquidation and Acquisition

I am able to research a variety of book markets to insure you receive the best condition for the best price. Most times, I am able to arrange to have it to delivered to you in less than a week.
Catalogs and Valuations
Your book collection can be a valuable asset if properly managed. Cataloging and valuating your book collection is a necessity for proving the worth of your asset in terms of balance sheets and insurance claims. My services would include creating a database of your books. With the digital data catalog, a financial valuation report could be developed further into a formal appraisal of the collection.Valuation of a book collection is very subjective in regards to fair market value vs replacement value vs personal attachment value. Factors of supply and demand greatly affect the buying and selling of books in today's internet economy. Other factors that may affect the value are replacement acquisition costs, which could include procurement and transportation costs. As for the cost of personal loss, some books are simply priceless.
