To find out if they're worth selling, or more suited to using in crafts

I picked up 5 or 6 really old books at a fundraiser sale a couple years back, and forgot about them til last night.

Among them is a McGuffy's 4th reader from the late 1800s, and the oldest book is 1910s. A couple have inscriptions in them.

The best appraisal I've found is to put stuff on eBay with a good description and good pictures. You'll find out 7 days later what it's worth.

^^^Saying that of the books I have, those are two of them.
