The Miskatonic Manuscript (Case Files Of Matthew Hunter And Chantal Stevens Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Chantal said, her expression conveying modest concern or uncertainty. Matthew had repaired to his office, pricing books, working through the backlog. Rarely trusting his memory — values could change too quickly — he started by looking up each one, as well as he could, online or in the reference books. But in the end it was partly intuitive. Was there a likely buyer, or would it have to sit on the shelf for years to attract the right party? Pricier books could be started anywhere from 60 to 75 percent of market; you wanted a knowledgeable buyer to be confident he or she was getting a bargain; you didn’t want them to find the same book somewhere else for less money tomorrow. Over time, if they didn’t move, Marian would mark those down, as many as four times. Books worth less than thirty or forty dollars the staff was supposed to deal with, and oddly enough you had to price those even lower, in terms of market value, because it simply wasn’t worth the time to go find them on the shelf and knock them down by 15 percent once or twice a year.
