1941 Dealer Album Wanted
(FOUND - NO LONGER LOOKING) Anyone out there with a 1941 Dealer Album in decent condition at a fair price ?? They were technically called a "Feature Folio" with a green cover.
Thanks.
Thanks.

What's your definition of a fair price?
Here's one on ebay for $374 (US). He ships worldwide. I don't have any idea what the going rate is for these, but given their age and likely rarity, his price is probably not out of line. I routinely see dealer albums from the '60s and '70s fetching prices in the $100 to $200 range.

Thanks for your message. Prices at this level are what they use to fetch back in the '80s and early '90s when restoring cars of the 30s & 40s was much more popular. Sadly this sort of price no longer works as there's just not the same level of interest any longer. $200 is probably about the right price for these, but I can understand that those on eBay are more expensive as its a literature dealer selling them who has to make a living. I'll just need to keep looking for a bit longer. Thanks.

If this dealer can actually get his $350+ asking price for this, why shouldn't I, as a private seller looking to sell one, also get $350 for it? I'm not a charity. I'm not going to sell it for less just because I'm not making a living at it. (And as a buyer, I'm not going to pay MORE for it just because I'm buying it from a dealer if I can get it for less from a private seller.) As a seller, I want as much as I can get for it, just like anyone selling anything does. The value of something is not a function of who is selling it. It's a function of "what the market will bear," as it has always been.
I'm not saying that this seller will actually get his asking price. What I am saying is, don't be surprised if you don't find anyone will to sell one of these for $200 just because you think it's about right when they see that others are selling them for nearly twice as much.
