I have a few B&C Award books I'd like to sell but not sure how much to ask. I do know they can be hard to find.
Any ideas on determining what to ask for them??

Of course they're worth what people will pay for them.......but monitoring past sales on ebay (or other places that track such things) will give you an idea.
You can also check the retail entities who specialize in these type of books. Their asking prices are typically ambitious......but you can get an idea.
As you mentioned, some of the past award books are quite valuable.

http://www.hunterbooks.com/books/index.php?c=Boone%20%26%20Crockett#0 ebay is a good place to check just so long as you know some guys ask for the stars.....seen two guys selling the same book before one asking $10 the other $250 for the same edition/same condition......whole lot of people troll for suckers on there so just cause you see someone asking $250 dont mean they are getting anywhere near that....

True. However, checking the "completed listings" option on items will show you what people actually paid for an item. Successful sales the price is in green........unsuccessful sales the amount is in red. Not surprisingly.......many of the ambitiously priced items never get a bid.
