Help with Amazon book sale

[AKbabe]

Hi, I am hoping one of you Amazon booksellers can help me. I am trying to list a dance technique book (was a dance major in college-the first time) printed in 1981. There are only 5 others selling this book and their asking price begins at $31.28. They say their copies are good or very good, but some don't have covers. Anyway, my copy has pages that are in great shape. No marks, no folds (only a couple of pages that have teeny little dog ears from sitting on the shelf), no tears, no writing in the book. The good thing about my book is that it has the cover. The bad thing is it is not in good shape. I mean, it's all intact. But there are quite a few coffee/wear stains/scratches on it. And a few small tears on the back cover. It is a spiral bound book. I was thinking of listing it as acceptable asking $25 for it. That would be $6 less than the lowest asking price. Do you think that is reasonable or should I make it $20?

If others are selling for $31.xx in bad shape..........list it for $25.00, as long as you clearly write the shape it's in someone will buy it.

List it for 30.00. Mention the dog-ears etc, on a few pages and add WITH COVER. Unless someone has it new or mint, they can decide for themselves if they want a book with a cover or not. Yours will still be the lowest priced.

I say just sell it at 25, its from the early 80's, how many people do you really think is going to want it. On the other hand though.. I've sold used books where there were over twenty used copies at close to new book price, go figure.

Ok, thanks guys! I think I will just list it at $25.00 and make sure all defects are listed. Frankly, I don't know who would want it either , but since it is no longer in print and the techniques are still in use, I'm sure some dancer out there may want it!
