Hilltopmom Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Other than here on the marketplace & on homeschool classifieds? Have had no luck on Facebook groups- everyone seems to want elementary aged stuff. I've got a stack of new ones that Ds never had time for but are past the return date. Ideas? Ebay? I've never sold there & hear horror stories. Edited August 21, 2017 by Hilltopmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I wouldn't try Ebay... I tried selling mine there and had no luck. I didn't think about homeschooling sites, but I guess mine would be appropriate for high schoolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've purchased some on Amazon. Now that I think about it, I might've sold a couple there as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It's hit-or-miss on Amazon. I've sold a few there, but I don't bother unless I'm going to get something reasonable for them. I've sold a lot of books on eBay, but never a TC set. Mine never move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I don't think you'd get much for them but our local used book store buys them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceseeker Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 If you are not able to sell them you might consider donating them to your local library. A lot of libraries catalogue them and put them into circulation. I realize this does not help you make any money back off of them but if you can't get a buyer it is at least donating to a good cause 😃 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhopper Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not here! I've had a set listed for the past 6 weeks, at a fair price (based on what I paid, at least) and -- nada! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudoMom Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've also sold on some FB groups, but people generally aren't going to pay more than half of the sale price that GC runs them for regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Maybe Half Price Books? We have one in town, and I take books there all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS83 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I've noticed the general hot cakes price is 10% - 25% of the original purchase price. /shrug. I'd rather just give stuff away. Aren't there sale and swap boards here? Edited August 21, 2017 by CES2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check with our lone used book store first, but if not, donating will work. They're still in the wrappers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A lot of them are available on Audible for 1 credit. That puts a low cap on the price people are willing to pay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellydon Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I purchase a lot of used curriculum on a homeschool sale site on Facebook. For Great Courses, the price has to be very low to sell since you can get them at libraries for free or on audible for under $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 A lot of them are available on Audible for 1 credit. That puts a low cap on the price people are willing to pay. Yeah, I get that. We prefer the DVDs rather than audible for the science/ engineering ones with diagrams & other visuals. But I can see history or lit ones being just as good on audible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
