Books do not sell, but help selling

My books do not sell, but ironically I found that they help selling other stuffs. Currently, those books are like "passport" to in collecting community and are well known in the world. Viewers, especially new collectors, gain some confidence by seeing those books listed for sale by the same seller. The logic might be "You have not read those books yet? you're most likely clueless.", or, opposite.

That's a new use of those books. An unexpected side effect

Alvin, I agree with what you are saying, but I do not know what you are talking about?

I listed a few items for sell on a public site (not here), a few books included. Guns are easier to sell now than one year ago.

Yes, I have done a lot of gun shows and also had some luger books for sale, no interest, which I found odd; like you said, it attracts attention, but have not been able to sell them
