It appears you have found them of such small value that you are trying to salvage your investment. Or, you have made copies and are selling the originals.

What is the best offer you have received, if any at all?
 
I actually never got around to using the Van Tharp stuff. I've read his book which I found useful at the time, but the tapes sat on my shelf for a few years and I never listened to them. I guess I'm at the point where I feel like I've found my stride and edge and I'm liquidating a lot of my books/tapes/courses/whatever, etc because I feel like I don't need them anymore. Truth be told, I'm cleaning out my office, so either someone else gets them or they go in the trash.

In the last 48 hours I've sold a number of books that others here consistently espouse as being great: Trading in the Zone, Disciplined Trader, Master Swing Trader, etc. etc. I didn't make copies.

The books that I'm holding on to are ones that I find myself consistently re-reading or using as reference: Option Volatility and Pricing, Trading Risk, Money Management for Futures Traders, Options as a Strategic Investment, etc.

Believe it or not I found the Connors/Landry stuff helpful in my early years of trading. More to get a feel for the markets (which of course there is no substitute to watching them day after day). Not because I applied what they taught rigidly, but because it prompted other ideas and understandings. Obviously TradingMarkets, like all the other gurus is self-serving. So, to answer your question, yes they aren't useful to me anymore -- but that doesn't mean they weren't useful at one point or won't be useful to someone else.

I don't know about you, but I never took a course in college more than once -- I don't think it should come as any suprise that someone doesn't need to step through a trading course more than once either to get the point.


No offers yet, just listed on Sunday. May move this over to eBay in a few days.
 
Did you use to work there? -- I'm curious because I think I remember someone with a name similar to yours at TM.


BTW, I don't disagree with you, but I will say that some of the material I did find helpful as a newbie.

I offer a money back guarantee on my materials. I answer all emails for anyone needing assistance. If you followed everything I said to do in my (free at Yahoo! Finance) column this year (and longer-term) you would be up nicely.

So how is that “fleecing”?
