Have you tried abebooks? Since it's a bookselling site, it's probably not good for insurance prices of first editions, but you'll get a sense of what the market price might be.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If I only had a brain...
I'd use MXBF. (Aka Bookfinder.) This cross-searches most of the known used-book services, so you can see the range of prices.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well, I just paid the $20 and the woman I spoke to said if I sent a letter, they might remove the negative credit item.

I read Westerfeld's Uglies a few weeks ago, and liked it a lot. Now I have to return it to my niece and see if she has Pretties...

Naomi Novik had a very funny little contest on her LJ: how many genre cliches can you fit into a very short story? The Ultimate Crossover Contest, here: [link]

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, that reminds me! I was thinking the other day about a book that was discussed here a while ago. Actually, I think someone just linked to a review on someone else's website. Anyway, the book was clearly awful (possibly self-published) and involved a protagonist who embodied nearly every current bad fantasy/romance cliche: he was a telepathic alien elf pirate, or something, and the review was fantastically snarky and funny. Is this ringing a bell for anyone? I tried googling for it, but unsurprisingly, a search for "alien elf pirate" has a pretty high signal-to-noise ratio.
