Value of a 1927 Webster's Dictionary?

I have a copy of the 1927 Webster's dictionary in good to better condition. The pages are excellent, but the cover has wear. What would be its value?

I checked on the Webster Dictionary blog where people go to find out how much their dictionary is worth. According to the site they told the person that they might be able to get around $19 for their dictionary that is the same year as yours. If you look on eBay the price is very low what people are asking. They are starting off around $5 for these books.

It is always better if we see a picture of the book in question but if you check the for sale listings on eBay you can see which ones compare with yours. You can also place a watch on any listing that you wish to see if it sells.

Asking prices are only prices the seller would like to receive for their items but only a sold listing will give you an idea of the price some one was willing to pay. It is difficult with items like this because you will never find an 'exact' same item and when you see a book sell for a higher price than normal it can be a one time thing and may not happen again for a very long time.

You can check out sold listings on eBay to see what has actually sold over the past several months. Check the condition as compared to yours.

Maybe you could do some research for a couple of months and try selling when times improve.
There are lots of sites other than eBay so check out Craigslist, Offerup, Letgo, Facebook Marketplace.
You can always start your price higher - maybe $25 - and lower it if no one shows an interest. List on more than one site. Good pictures are a necessity.
