[Genealib] Accepting County History Book donations from patrons?

[Tina Beaird]

I have been contacted by a woman from out of town about purchasing 2
county histories that she has had in her family for a number of years.
The info is not for my county, but for the county next to mine. I am
interested in the books, but she has no idea what they are worth and
seemed interested in having me give her a price.  I am not qualified in
the least to assess the value of county histories. Does anyone have a
structure they use for pricing historic books or a rule of thumb?
 
Thank you,
