Choose Your Own Adventure paperback books, lot of 15, 1980s
The branching-path kids' series that sells on nostalgia. Runs of fifteen or more move as a lot to collectors filling gaps, and a few of the numbered titles are scarcer than the rest and get pulled out and priced alone.
Estimated resale range (used)
$20 – $45
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.
What matters when you check it
- Check the number on the spine — the higher and later numbers are usually the harder ones to find.
- Look at the cover style and publisher logo to sort 1980s originals from 1990s reissues.
- Note cracked spines, pen marks inside the front cover and any pages torn at the corners.
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
