metalman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I did come and have a look but if I'm honest I thought they were rather overpriced - 50p would have been a more realistic price point for most of them, and there didn't seem to be that much difference between the ones that were £1 and those that were £2 or £3. Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canalforall Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 To metalman: we have set a rule: those books which are read(used) and not in the best condition we priced at £1, books in good condition and paperback we priced at £2, books in hardback, new and reference books we priced at £3. I think it's fair, especially for those priced £2 and £3 as most of them are absolutely new, never used and for those priced at £3 the original prices were from £12 up. We had good response yet, nobody claimed they are overpriced. And if somebody would say anything we are/have been there and we are open to offer. We do this with the aim that all profit is going towards the canal restoration - used not only by the Chesterfield canal trust members but everybody.

lauren84 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If only I had read this last week! I have quite a few books that I need to get rid of! If anyone knows of any other charity which may want them (and will pick them up) please let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniminx Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well I think that what canalforall are doing to restore chesterfield canal is awesome.. They collected books, dvds, cds, videos from me yesterday & they're doing this all out of their own pocket with no monetary gain going to them... Petrol isn't exactly cheap theses days!!!
