I've been asked if there is some way to estimate of the value of an existing library book collection that is about to go into circulation in the next month or so. There are approximately 1200 books in the collection and roughly 80-85% are hardback. Most have been published in the last 5-10 years by Artscroll, Feldheim, and the like. Are there any rules of thumb that could be applied to come up with an estimate?
Note that I've already conveyed to the person asking that any such estimate done by me is not a "professional" valuation. Given that, how would one go about getting a professional valuation done?
