Price to put NT books at

My dad went to school several years ago hoping to become a Windows NT technition (sp?). he had to stop because our money ran out. he found a box with all his old textbooks a few weeks ago and told me to sell them on ebay. i get 25% of the money for selling them. All the books are in perfect - near perfect condition. here's a little inventory i made up

Books For Windows NT

Microsoft TCP/IP training - $100
Microsoft Internet Information Server Training Kit - $100
Microsoft Networking Essentials Second Edition - $100
Microsoft Windows NT Network Administration Training - $80
Microsoft Windows NT Technical Support Training - $100
Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Technologies Training Kit - $100
MCSE Test Success: Core Requirements, set of 4 test prep books - $80
MCSE NT Server 4 Study Guide - $50
MCSE Networking Essentials - $50
MCSE NT Workstation 4 - $50
1001 MCSE Tips - $55 (NO DISC)
NRP Inside Paradox for Windows - $35
MCSE The Core Exams in a Nutshell: A Quick Desktop Reference, Second Edition - $25
BONUS BOOK: MCSE Windows NT Server 4 for Dummies
discs for books included unless otherwise noted.
Original Value - $925

now what i was wondering was, what would be a good starting bid and reserve price to sell these on ebay for (or set price or half.com)?

Take a look on Amazon and see what price the used books are going for in their database of used book sellers.

Take the new price and divide by 2 because they are used and that is what you can expect to make TOPS. 400 + shipping seems about right. But really, I don't think it will sell on eBay. Good Luck!

I've tried my computer books and they didn't sell so 400$ worth of them is definately not gonna work. I really don't know where else to try.

P.S.: My friend just told me to try and sell them on Amazon. They offer used books. Good Luck. If you ever find a place be sure to tell us because I have no idea where to sell books.

think putting an ad in an online classified ad would be able to get me around $400?

When I took my MCSA courses the books would be obsolete before the semester was over, the campus bookstore wouldn't even buy them back. With those being NT core books I doubt you'll get much of anything for them.
