American Dreams by John Jakes
author: John Jakesformat: Hardcovergenre: Historical Fictionpublication year: 1998publisher: Dutton Adult

Got a copy of American Dreams by John Jakes. It's a pretty thick historical fiction book about the Crown family during the early 1900s. The cover has some minor wear on the edges but the pages are all good. Great read if you like history or his other stuff like North and South. Just trying to clear out some space on my bookshelf.

The most significant factors are the condition of the item, whether you have the original box and accessories, and the current market demand. Items in "Like New" or "Mint" condition typically sell for more.

The best places to sell depend on your item. Generally, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Mercari are top choices for electronics and collectibles. Hero Stuff helps you list across these platforms efficiently.

Check recent sold listings rather than active asking prices. Hero Stuff does this automatically for you, filtering out outliers to give you a realistic expectation of what your item will sell for.
