Umm, I think when you hit 80, you can do whatever the hay barrel you want!
If you are getting these requests once a day, that's adds up to a lot of time that perhaps you have other things to do with.
I think if you could put together a 'form' reply that you can just cut and paste, telling people how to research values on e-bay, or on the OLDGAS forums, that's ok.
I also think telling people to buy the book, is ok.
You put how many years into your book? Why would people think they can get free advice, when you are trying to sell a book that has what they are looking for. Giving them these three options, and you are teaching them how to find values that will actually make them better at purchasing items for themselves or for resale.
What's the proverb?
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day...
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
