[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 5513336, member: 73489"]Also matters how RARE the catalog is. I was looking to buy the 1933 Saint Sotheby's catalog years ago, but the prices were too high for what was basically a 1-coin catalog that was 20-30 pages: like $25-$30. There was always 5-10 of them available so I figured I could wait. Eventually got it for like $10-$12 including S&H or so. Conversely, I've seen a few other catalogs where there is only 1 offered and who knows if another will pop up in weeks...or months...or years or never. So I usually make offers there and make sure I grab it. To quibble over $10-$15 when I might miss out is not worth it. OTOH, I saw some 1987-88 Norweb catalogs that looked great and might even have some useful information for my collecting interests -- [B][I]but not at $500 for all 3 of them !! :D[/I][/B][/QUOTE]
