I've been planning to auction these items on eBay, but it hasn't been a high priority. If someone asks and if I have the time to do it, I'll try to promptly put the requested items up for public (not private) auction and let you know when it starts.
Use the email address on this site's Feedback page to inquire. If you want to check my eBay Feedback ratings and comments, ask me for my eBay user name.
I will generally sell these items only on eBay. See the My eBay terms of sale page.
The description with each item (if any) is the proposed auction listing. Some are from previous auctions where the items didn't sell.
"Likely price" is what I expect to use as the starting bid. If you think the price is too high, you can't hurt anything by suggesting a different one.
Items with a "Likely price" of $0.99 or less are items I want to get rid of, to anyone willing to pay the shipping cost. On request, I'll bundle one or more of them with other items into an auction lot. Even after you win an auction, you can request that $0.99 items be included. Make the request at any time before you pay for the auction. If the additional items raise the shipping cost, you must pay the additional charges. That is why you must ask before you pay.

The bible of technical analysis and charting, this book covers its subject in exhaustive detail with numerous illustrative charts.
Partial list of topics
The accompanying images of the table of contents pages are sufficiently high resolution to view some of the chapter subtopics.
The book and its dust jacket are generally in very good condition except that about 30 of the book's 494 pages have underlining with red felt pen. The boards have a trivial dent at bottom. Spine and dust jacket have a wrinkle at top. The accompanying handheld scanner images of the pages have shadow artifacts. The actual pages are bright white, printed on high quality glossy paper and are not discolored.
Granville's New Strategy of Daily Stock Market Timing for Maximum Profit, by Joseph E. Granville, Prentice-Hall, NJ, 1976, ISBN 0-13-363432-9, dark blue hard cover with dust jacket, gold spine lettering, 350 pages. Original price $19.95.
Likely price: Granville $120, Andersen $2. Or both for $120. These were planned to be bundled together, but they don't have to be.
This book discusses major market indicators, bull and bear market phases and chart patterns, Granville's Climax Indicator and On-Balance Volume concept; long-term cycles in the Advance-Decline line; 56 daily market indicators; and "Presents a far-reaching application of market cyclical conclusions up through the year 2000"! That far ahead, eh? That should be interesting.
This book is in excellent condition except about 14 pages have passages marked with yellow highlighter that is fading with time, about 2 pages have some pencil notations, and about 1 page was previously dog-eared. The dust jacket has a couple of minor tears, visible in the scanned image.
I wrote a short BASIC program that tried to automate his "56 Day To Day indicators", which I will send to the auction winner.
Making Money, by Ian Andersen, The Vanguard Press, NY, 1978, ISBN 0-8149-0797-0, dark green hardcover with dust jacket, gold spine lettering, 232 heavy paper pages. Original price $10.00.
The author discusses Negotiating; How To Deal With People; The Stock Market; How To Invest In Real Estate; How To Establish And Use Credit; The Subtleties Of Swiss Banking; Liechtenstein Corporations And Trusts; and What To Do About Income Taxes.
The book is in good condition. About 3 pages have passages underlined with red felt pen, about 2 pages have pencil notations, and about 4 pages have a rust mark at the top edge where a paper clip was used as a bookmark. The dust jacket has small tears, a couple of hard creases, and rubbing.
How To Make Money In Stock Options, by Norman Saint-Peter, Prentice-Hall, NJ, 1984, ISBN 0-13-423830-3, cream colored hard cover with dust jacket, black spine lettering, 290 pages. Original price $24.50.
Likely price $7
This book covers options basics (terminology and how options work), the various trading strategies (puts, calls, spreads, straddles, naked selling, covered writes) and the market conditions where each is appropriate. For each strategy: When to use it; What the strategy involves; How it makes money; How best to implement it; What kinds of returns can be expected; How changes in stock price and diminishing time to expiration affect profit/loss; Where the risks lie with the strategy; How to follow up on the strategy.
However, I bought the book mainly for its 14 pages of appendices in which the author provides the Black-Scholes option valuation equation and several other related equations with explanations. These were sufficient to allow me to write several C programs to do these useful calculations.
The book is in good condition. Boards and spine very good. About 2 pages have passages underlined in red felt pen, about 3 pages have pencil notations (example shown in image), about 3 pages were dog-eared, and about 21 pages have a rust mark at the top edge where a paper clip was used as a bookmark. The pages are not discolored; the dark region in the image is a handheld scanner shadow. Dust jacket is good with a 1/4" tear and some curling.

Likely price $12
From the back cover:
"Dozens of books have been written on how to choose stocks to buy. But do you know how and when to sell? How to turn a paper profit into a real one at the right time? How to prevent a minor loss from turning into a major disaster? WHEN TO SELL tells you how experienced professionals make sensible selling decisions -- the decisions that not only make the difference between profit and loss but can lock in a big gain before it vanishes completely."
