Is there a place to sell used books online (not textbooks)

[Only me]

I've been searching for a place online to sell my used books. I love reading but really need to get rid of a lot of books. They are mostly popular novel types. The problem is either they will offer a ridiculously low price that isn't worth the shipping or most places aren't accepting these books at all.

 

I did recently give some away to the donation truck. I dont mind donating but I wonder if that's the best route. Is there a place that just accepts donated books?

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

Goodwill for donating

Halfprice books if you want some money back

Maybe Amazon

Possibly Abe Books

check out fetchbook.info (if you poke around, you should find links to a number of different resellers with whom you could sell your books.)

 

you can also sell used books through amazon.

I've sold books through Amazon.

 

Most books are not worth much.  When I think of selling rather than donating a book, I look it up on Amazon.  if there are multiple used copies available at a very low price, I'm not going to bother trying to sell mine.

I don't know where you live, but you may have a large library book sale near you that will accept your donated books.

 

When we were in Phoenix, there was a huge book sale that would even come to you and pick up your books!

I go through cycles of selling/swapping/donating because that's always been how I could afford to homeschool and keep up with my own reading. Interlibrary loan has gotten so expensive here ($6.00), and I no longer get free interlibrary loans at the local community college.

 

For books that I can make $5+, I sell online.

 

For less than that, I either list on Paperback Swap, or I donate for a tax deduction to the local library sale. Paperback Swap is fine if the book is going to move, but I find that some older, less popular books will just sit there.

'Popular novel types' of books don't generally sell well online. I would try paperback swap or call your library and ask if they can use/sell them.

We donate all our books and old homeschool materials to the local friends of the library. They have huge a twice yearly sale and the proceeds go to support our local library
