 | Collectibles Price Guide 2005 (Collectibles Price Guide) by Judith Miller
Buy new: $16.50 / Used from: $0.88 $1.94! It will cost you more to ship than to buy. And oh the pretty pictures. (Prices being outdated and irrelevant seems like an oxymoron for a collector of price guides, but at this point the learning is what counts. At this point, knowing that a full house of books on collectibles trumps a pair is all you need to know.

 | Flea market price guide by Robert William Miller
Buy used from: $0.01 Alright, I haven't ordered this one either (that said, this being my first list and all, shouldn't whatchamacallit, ama, ama, Amazon provide me with a list of the many books I've ordered to recommend from, I mean people please, I'm doing the searching all over again) but at $0.01 there's money to be made.

 | Electric Lighting Vol. II, of the 20s & 30s (Electric Lighting of the 20's & 30's)
Buy new: $12.95 / Used from: $6.41 I guess Volume I is more collectible because it's $6 more. Maybe, there's less of them out there? And, so starts the mystery as to why one bowl is and one bowl isn't, a collecti-bull.
