everything vintage/what is it worth?

I love cookbooks! And so do a lot of other people. Just browse through the listings on eBay that have the words “vintage cookbook” in the title and you will find a TON of them!

So how do I know which ones are the most valuable?  I like anything from Betty Crocker. The older the better. The better the condition, the better. The closer to a first edition, the best! Do a completed search on eBay and sort them from highest to lowest, you will see what I mean!

Here’s one that sold for 155.00!  CLICK HERE

Regional cookbooks can be a good seller too. This also includes fundraiser cookbooks from churches and schools, etc. Be sure to list the city and state of the origin of the cookbook.

Sometimes I just list a “LOT” of cookbooks, both old and newer. Those grocery check out ones are popular and can be expensive so I put together a “lot” of 6-10 of them for a decent price.

So how do I find them? While I do shop at local estate auctions, I find a lot of cookbooks at yard sales. however, I find MOST of them at Goodwill and other thrift stores. Not everyone has the patience to look through all of the books at the thrift stores but take some time and look!

You might find a great bargain!
