Autocourse valuation 67 to date

[magic torch]

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post this.

Anyone know what a full set of Autocourse annuals is worth, 1967 to date? Good condition.

Prices on ebay seem to be all over the place...

Thanks

I would take a guess at possibly £600.

Perhaps let us know if/where you intend to sell them, on here, there may well be more interest/better price perhaps than on ebay ?

I'm not selling, a friend is possibly buying.

If they do go on general say though, I'll happily point the seller here.

Shamelessly stolen from ten-tenths http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9...

man on ten tenths who seems to know what he is talking about said:

Autocourse Magazines 1951-56 £50-60 each - maybe more for vol.1 no.1
Autocourse Magazines 1957-58 £40-50 each - they're rare, but there's not much meat to them.
Autocourse annual 1959 £350
Autocourse biannual 1960/1 £250-325 each
Autocourse annuals 1961-66 £270-350 each
Autocourse annuals 1967-70 £180-275 each
Autocourse annuals 1971-75 £150-250 each
Autocourse annuals 1976-80 £90-150 each (more for 1978 - its scarce)
after 1981, the only really precious one is 1994 - maybe £120 for a very fine one, the rest can all be found for the £50 mark. Nothing since 1996 is worth much at all, because too many people have looked after them and the print runs were extensive.
I've seen two complete sets in my time. Their respective owners were asking £7500 and £9000 for them - I don't know if they actually got it!

his values are for mint condition annuals with spines intact etc, personally i think they are over the top but he does seem to be "in the know". I'm sure the usual wear and tear, tears and damage and things reduce the value by at least 50%. so providing they are as a dealer would describe as good condtion (assume thats complete with outer jackets and only showing very minimal wear and tear) he wont get much change from £2500

Values are high. A full set of bound copies 1951 to 1959 can fetch c.£3500.

Interesting that since 1996 they have lost their value. I wonder is it to do with the relatively unexciting "Schumacher Dominance" period.

I reckon it might be something to do with...
