It's not a stupid question at all. To me, the value is related to the value of the book if it were a blue label, plus a factor for the costs of signing and the rarity/difficulty of the sig. That is how I value the books. Sometimes for me, it means I way overvalue books that may have a small market because they are tough and rare. I also sometimes undervalue books if they seem common or easy to me, but they have a large market. It is a tricky thing, I think. A lot of the witness/sellers around here, I think, do a great job of balancing the "value" of the book with the work that went into getting it.

 

Well said.

 

Then again, there are also a couple of witnesses who seem to take the blue label value and multiply it by a factor or 3 or 4 to get the yellow label price :whistle:

 

:whee:

 

Supply and Demand...supply and demand...
