Min Ron NEE Cigar Encyclopedia - Selling

Stevez · 07-18-2014, 01:50 PM

Guys, I need to raise some funds for a project that is important to me and decided to sell my copy of Min Ron NEE's Cigar Encyclopedia. It is in mint condition and I just don't look at it and never have really. I am not sure what the value is to be fair; not trying to gouge anyone at all, but do want a fair price. I haven't found any threads here to be helpful as they are very dated. Any ideas of fair market value today? I have watched Ebay and they are listed in the hundreds, up to $600, but they don't ever sell for that and in fact I haven't seen any final sales. I am thinking about putting it out there with no reserve and just going for it. Any recommendations? Thanks.

One significant factor on value is if it is the first or second printing, the 1st goes for quite a bit more, Steve.

I'd be interested in the book!

Will increase my bland trader rating too if anything

Tom, I am assuming that the book will show the date and if it's 2003 its the first printing and 2005 would be the re-print, correct? I'll have to check later tonight as I don't have it with me. Thanks.

Be interesting to see what goes for in the end. My hunch is not much more than original price at that time. Weren't they like $200ish new? It was so long ago, I forget what I paid shipped from Europe.

I think I paid $150 or even possibly $125 for mine (2nd printing) from a US vendor.

Just checked an archived version of the site, I paid $125. Shipping was probably only about an additional $10, as they shipped media mail / book rate.

I paid 75 bucks for mine new. 2nd edition.
These are super hard to get now, I don't think $300 is unfair at all. I'd think it'd sell in a minute for $250.
I've also seen prices from $500 to $1000, but haven't seen any sell at those prices. Those were also for 1st editions.
Mind ya, there aren't ever going to be any more of these.
