Selling books online

[Peaches]

The last time I moved I gave away about 500 books (they were all Dr. Seuss - wanted to clarify that for Fletch, Cherry and Labret before they questioned my ability to read :P ) and now I'm back up to around 50-75 I'd like to get rid of.

Because I'm not as generous as before, i.e. not making the big $$$ and don't need the additional tax deduction, I figured I'd sell them.

Any suggestions on where to get the most $$ the easiest way? All are basically run of the mill best sellers (One Fish Two Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, etc), but are in excellent condition except for page corners turned down. :D

Thanks Slav, those I know about and apparently half.com is also part of Ebay. Just wondering if one is better than the other or if there's another one out there.

I need to start BUYING my books used - I could save a fortune. :headwall:

Like I would own a computer book! :P

BTW, there's a nice new restaurant in Blue Ridge - steaks, seafood, chicken, etc. And no country music band - I promise. :rolleyes:

It's hard to sell them on ebay unless they are out of print or rare

I tried recently . :)

Hehehe, sorry Sharky - I was joking about my reading level - they're all grownup books. :P

I have probably 1000+ children's books in a storage shed but they're going to be read to my grandchildren by their loving, VERY old (because I don't want grandkids for at least 10 years), psycho grandmother. :)

Plus, I'd never sell them to you - I'd give them for free to Hailey. :okthumb:

[sharky]

haha.
believe it or not,.. hailey is starting to read now:-)
