I'm thinking about selling my German reprints of the Ross novels. I want to go home (Newport, RI) for a month this year, but it's expensive. Does anyone have any tips on how to sell on EBay? I've never sold anything there. I'm also wondering what these items might be worth. It's hard to part with them, but I don't read German, and even if I did, I have the English versions!. I also have high quality scans of the covers, so they're really not essential to my collection. Any input would be welcome. I have no idea what these are worth.

Wow! Never knew there were foreign editions of the Ross books. Do they have the same covers as the English versions? Different covers would certainly up their collectible value.

The covers of the German reprints were quite...different..... The artist's conception of Barnabas did not fit the mood or the tone of the novels. Ross wrote about a very romantic Barnabas. It's difficult to reconcile his Byronic description of our favorite vampire with the grotesque cover images. Here's an example.

Oh my, it's the classic look of Christopher Lee as Dracula. Nothing to do with Barnabas...
