Wisden Selling - Catalogue

Why Sell through us: Expert Advice, Single Figure Commission and we always sell at Market Rate.

The main benefits to sell via wisdens.org is that we only charge a small single figure commission and supply you with expert advice all along the way from listing your books to the buyer confirming receipt. Our commission rate is very favourable and a huge saving compared to auction houses @ 30-40% of what the seller buys the books for, plus we always obtain market value for the books and not two thirds or half as some people will offer for them. It is like a private sale with extremely cheap expert advice and access to a very large mailing list of serious collectors.

We have sold some quality Wisdens this last two years, including every hardback from 1910 to date along with several very early editions.

"Just a short note to express my satisfaction with the stock that I have purchased through your catalogue during the last few months. The books I have bought have all been clean and tidy, well presented and delivered on time. I would not hesitate to do business again-indeed I am waiting for the right books to come along at a price I can afford! Seriously I am a happy purchaser looking forward to adding to my collection."

From JD:

"I have bought five original hard backs from the catalogue, a 1913, 1915, 1936, 1940 and 1942, and I can say without exception that I have been delighted with them all. When my current liquidity crisis abates, I will definitely buy again, not least for the following reasons:

1) Authenticity. Everything I have bought is authentic. If you are a visitor to the Wisden.org site you will see that authenticity is all, and to that extent I would be very surprised if anything other than the real deal made the list.

2) Accuracy of descriptions. Having been burned by buying blind at auction on the back of limited descriptions, I have to say that I've always got what I thought I was getting from the catalogue.

In a world where prices are rocketing, these 2 points are key. I will happily buy again."

Mr C:

"Buying Wisdens from the forum catalogue has always been a good experience. You are dealing with fellow Wisden lovers and everyone is keen to conduct the sale of the books in the fairest way. You know that you will get books as described nd at good prices. Chris Ridler runs things professionally. I do not hesitate to make purchases. In fact, I look forward to the next new catalogue coming out"
