Where do you get rid of your unwanted books?

[Helen Back]

We're in the same position. We're having a clearout but we'd rather see some money back for them while charity shops aren't taking books at the moment. The problem is the postage fees. We did a sample search for a couple of our titles to see what sort of money we could get and found places selling them for less than it would cost us to send via Royal Mail! And Amazon want too much personal information to register as a seller. Passport number? Go hither! It seems the second hand book market has been well and truly cornered and if you just want to get a quid or two back on your old books then you have no chance.

Charity shops, I get most of my books from them anyway!
I took a bag full to the PDSA shop recently, no problem with them being accepted.

I got rid of a load through ziffit, there's an app you download and use your phone to scan the barcodes, some you might not get much for but I got over £100 for a box of books and DVDs.
