Does anyone have a contact in secondhand books - rare book trade?

Our village hall is a listed building and we need new doors and windows that cost thousands. There is not thousands in the coffers so we are fundraising.
We are having a book sale and one donated book is The Rhinegold and The Valkyrie. This is a Third Impression from May 1912. All illustrations are present and I cannot bring myself to sell this for 50 pence.
So if anyone knows someone who knows someone in the rare book trade or has any super suggestions (I do not like eBay - personal stigma) - start telling me how to raise some cash, please.

Very Lovely but those pages shown are appearing to be suffering from mild Foxing. That is the slight Brown Spots on the page. Cannot be sure because it is a image of . Foxing is caused by damp acting on iron deposits within the paper. In other words rust. One often sees this on older watercolours.
