Value of Astronomy items ?

[Bobbyoutback]

I,m thinking about listing some books & telescopes for sale but not sure what to ask for a quick sale

Example : the book ~ Hartungs Astronomical Objects for Southern telescopes I bought new on the 18 / 10/ 2000 .

Some people will attest to the 2/3 of the original purchase price but you have to factor in how rare the item is and what other similar items have sold for. A second edition of Hartungs Astronomical Objects for Southern telescopes sold on IIS last year for around $370

Interesting. Makes me wonder, what would the hardback edition of the Millennium Star Atlas sell for these days, seeing as it's been out of print for several years now?
