Is it possible that extra fields will be added to books to indicate that there is a dust jacket around it and the corresponding price. Old books with a dust jacket are often much more expensive / rarer than books without a dust jacket. You can of course also include an extra item in the catalog, but that is actually not correct because it is the same book, with identical information.

See the type of book field. There you can choose bound book with dust jacket and paperback with dust jacket.
You are right that a book published with a dust jacket only belongs once in the catalog and not the copy without a dust jacket. If someone has it without cover, he can mention it with the copy in his collection under notes.

Hi Rene, that is possible but does not make it clear to the potential buyer. For example, I offer a book that has a much higher price than is currently in the catalog, because my copy has a dust jacket and the price in the catalog is meant without the dust jacket (because the contributor has this book). The buyer then considers that price of mine ridiculous and never looks at it again.
Solution would be to always show only pictures of the book in question WITH dust jacket and the corresponding price. Providers are then almost always lower with their price if the book does not have a dust jacket and therefore more attractive for a buyer to look further ...
I know, these are just minor issues a salesperson runs into, but still…

So the problem is that there is an incorrect price, I understand that. You can make a price suggestion, but I'm still behind in processing that. If urgent, you can email me the Catawiki numbers that you have changed the type to dust jacket and which had a value without dust jacket. With your suggestion for the value.

Rene, I'm not completely satisfied with it yet. Somehow it must be made clear in the catalog that the price quoted only applies to a book with a dust jacket, as far as it should be included. That is still a bit in the air now. I can put up a book without the dust jacket (because I don't have one) but then I have to go and explain why the price is so high.

In itself, with all items on Catawiki, the list prices apply to complete items. I actually assumed that was clear. For example, if a picture book is incomplete, it is also worth much less.

let me be heard too
I think you should be able to assume
that a book in the catalog is complete - so with cover or not of course
and then details of the book missing cover
maybe the idea is
to put it somewhere with a kind of check mark that you can turn on and off
to accentuate
/ or however you may write that /

If you offer a book with a dust jacket without a cover in your shop, please indicate this clearly in the details and choose the least condition as the condition.

There are books with different dust jackets than the actual book cover…. to make things even more complicated.
So Rene I disagree with your statement that books in the shop without dust jackets would have the least condition. On the contrary, sometimes even!
So… ?

So ... put in the notes in your shop that there is a special book cover around it and ask for a much higher price.

@ Kluitmanbooks: Do you mean variants of a particular dust jacket (then they must also be a variant in the catalog) or copied dust jackets?
A book without the original dust jacket may of course look like new on its own, but because it is actually incomplete (the dust jacket is missing) it can never be more than fair condition if it is offered with the item with the dust jacket in the catalog. Of course, it can be stated in the seller's own notes that the issue is that the dust jacket is missing and that the book is otherwise in perfect condition.

Yesterday the book "New art" was auctioned for 55 Euro. I want to put the book in my shop, but I have no idea what price I can attach to it, partly because the book lacks the accompanying dust jacket. without dust jacket?

with kind regards

Bookworm

book in new condition with dust jacket is approximately € 200, reasonable condition € 50. A book without a dust jacket is never more than reasonable, but because the book itself is not beautiful, no more than € 25. So you paid too much ... :-(

I may have mistakenly assumed that you were the buyer yourself, sorry, but it remains € 25 max.

Morits, I did not buy the book at the auction. Did I understand that a book without a dust jacket should always be regarded as a book "in fair condition", even if the book itself is in new condition?

You can of course offer it in a different state, but then you have little chance of potential buyers. Furthermore, in the future they will be very careful when you offer something again! Users of CataWiki often assume the conditions associated with the descriptions defined at CataWiki and then, as Morits said, you must offer your book in reasonable condition.

The description in the details and good photos are then very important. If you offer it in good condition, please state clearly that the dust jacket is missing! If you put it up for auction, I believe you have to adhere to the CataWiki rules and only offer it in fair condition.

If you offer it in fair condition, you can state that the book itself is still in perfect condition.

Maybe an idea to add an extra photo to the book section, photo 1. front; photo 2. backside; photo 3. colophon; photo 4. binding without dust jacket

Because I regularly have to make a choice between colophon or book binding without dust jacket.

Example this item is not filled in correctly 4043935

We will certainly think about this in the long term, because in the new layout it is a lot easier to realize.

If I am allowed to respond, whether or not it is / was not correct I will partially ignore it.

The core is change option.

At the time of placement, the person concerned may not have known about it?
Well, the images were not beautiful / clear.

However, thinks today's change is much better and clearer. Neat.

That is the underlying rationale & gt; if you have better or more info, you can go ahead. (appreciated)?
