Thank you for your comments. Not all people who sell sheet music have sheet music that has any resell value. Most of what does sell in the market will only sell for about 10 cents to maybe 50 cents. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the world who think that old sheet music has some type of value because it is old and maybe it has a cute picture or movie theme on the cover, but that is not what sells most sheet music. To begin with back in the day before radio came along people would gather around the piano and sing, so to meet the demands of the market most pieces of music had over 5,000,000 published. A lot of that music still exists, even though degradation of the paper can be a problem, most of that music is still in great shape as far as being able to read the music and whether it stands up well at the piano. A good bit of it will still sale on eBay for a couple of bucks. However, I sell collectible sheet music, the pieces that didn't have 5 million printed that have been written by certain composers or particular eras such as jazz, or maybe it has a particular artist picture on it or rarely seen actors or actresses, etc., or can be a particular style that's hard to find such as "rags." Condition can mean everything too, if the music is soiled or stained, is creased and wrinkled up, has tape (scotch tape etc.) on it anywhere, writing, marks, etc. There are several things that collector's look for in a piece. Not that all music that sells is in the best of conditions, it might have all of those issues, but maybe only have 10 or so known pieces still available that can be found. Because generally back when the music was originally published people didn't save their music, if it got torn up or whatever, it was trashed and burned. Collector's also will seek out music that has a particular theme such as automobiles, planes, trains, boats, pretty girls and so forth. There's collectors that will only collect certain composer's music for example. My point being that you are probably trying to sell some very common sheet music and that is why you've had limited interest in what you've made available. I spend a great deal of my time researching most of the sheet music I sell, well before I even consider it having resell value. Plus I'm very particular about condition and for the most part will clean, repair, and do any restorative work on the music from the start, so I do have a following. As a matter of fact I've got 287 followers who follow me for my sheet music, I don't sell anything else other than songbooks and an occasional music-related item. I've also been doing this for 10 years and if I wasn't making any money selling sheet music I would have pulled the plug years ago, because quite often eBay has treated me like the red-headed stepchild in the bunch who doesn't deserve their attention. I think my buyers would be willing to argue the point, but if they are not showing my music in the first 10 pages like they have said they would do based on my status as a seller, etc., I'm certainly not going to get any new buyers or followers, right? Now after you've read and learned more than you had originally planned, do you see the problem here? I wouldn't mind checking out your music, because one never knows, you might have that one piece that everyone is looking for. Thanks again
