Hey Ladies!
I was curious as to whether anyone could suggest a website to sell some used novels on. I am cleaning out my bookcases and would like to sell. I know of Amazon, Ebay, and Barnes and Noble are three sites that I can sell books on. Does anyone have any experiences with selling items on these websites? Or do you have any other suggestions on sites where I can sell them on?
Thanks Ladies!
Re: NWR: Website to Sell Used Books/Novels On? Suggestions or Experiences?
You might do better ofyou have a Half-Price Books or other used bookstore near you.
ETA: We sell first editions/signed books only on Ebay-most other things aren't worth the hassle.
Amazon has a new program where you can sell stuff to the site, instead of listing it individually, and they give you a gift card. It's kind of convenient, because you only ship everything once (instead of shipping intermittently as different items sell). However, they don't pay super well. And if you don't want an Amazon GC, it's worthless.
I do agree about looking into local used bookstores.
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
Unless you're really just trying to get rid of a high quantity FAST... don't go there. Even FI will tell people to go to Amazon or Half.com (Ebay's affiliate)
It's more trouble, but you will get your most money by selling on those websites. Just get a bunch of cheap shipping supplies, and sit down one day and list them all. I've usually had a good experience selling books on either of those sites.

I have also sold textbooks and DVDs back to Amazon and found that to be really easy. Some of it isn't worth much, some is. If it isn't worth my time, I donate those too.
If you just have a few books to sell, it might not be worth the hassle. But if you've got a whole bunch, especially if you can sell some in sets (or all back to Amazon), and no used bookstore around, it's worth at least looking into.
