Ladies and gents,
I am working on decluttering my library.
I have a ton of books I would love to sell of to a good home. Some have been through #LMPBC and others are almost brand new, or barely used books.
Each book is $10 (Includes shipping). If interested check out this form https://forms.gle/kyUCAFyamFQz1Bcg6

paper.reveries What a good idea! 10mo

Where do you usually sell your used books when you clean off shelves? I usually end up just donating them to the local library for their library sale (but they currently aren‘t accepting any donations, and I‘m betting they won‘t be any time soon) or listing newer ones or sets on EBay.

Any good suggestions to rehome books?

Andrew65 I tend to give mine to charity shops. 3y
GingerAntics If there is a half price books around, I used to bring them boxes of books. It kind of depends on what is in your area. 3y
AmyG I donate them now,since the library isn‘t taking them, to the thrify shop. Or a friend‘s LFL. 3y

TheSpineView I put mine is my LFL box. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GingerAntics Yea, that‘s where I‘m kind of stuck. There isn‘t a bunch in my immediate area and both the library and Salvation Army aren‘t taking donations. I might just have to make a pile somewhere for maybe late 2021. 🤷‍♀️ 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AmyG @Andrew65 locally there is a Salvation Army, but they also aren‘t currently taking donations because of COVID. 3y
Andrew65 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Comes to something when you can‘t even give books away. 3y
CoveredInRust I list mine on paperbackswap.com but you have to cover the cost of shipping and if no one has a request for the books it can take some time to get rid of all of them. The bonus is the books you get to request in return, tho. :) 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Andrew65 Right! 😂 it‘s not normally a problem I run into. The library has been my go to for years. I buy them at the sale, donate them there, and any money they make funds my local library. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @CoveredInRust I may have to check them out. Thank you! (edited) 3y
GingerAntics Yeah, if those are your closest options, that could be your easiest/best option. 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @GingerAntics I‘ll list that under “things I took for granted and never would have realized” without COVID 3y

LeahBergen I‘m not sure what your city is like but I sell mine to a local used bookshop. They don‘t pay a lot but they offer you more if you opt for trade-in on their books over cash. I have a “bank account” going there now. 😆 Whatever they don‘t take, I drop off at a local charity shop or Goodwill. 3y
AmyG The library was my go-to but they stopped taking donations....so the thrifty store which may soon stop taking them, too. 3y
KVanRead Don‘t sell mine but have been dropping them a few at a time at the various Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood. Only problem is I usually end up coming home with at least one more.😬 I recently happened upon Backlash for next year‘s shesaid read! 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @KVanRead Lucky find! Picking them in advance definitely has its advantages. 3y
GingerAntics Right? It‘s weird the things that we never really thought about until this year. 3y

Cosyreader @TrishB oh no! Can it be fixed? The sale ends April 23rd 6y
TrishB No- it‘s one of the very first ones and the battery is knackered - so I need an upgrade! Just deciding which one to get. Although I can still buy - they would all be waiting for me anyway! 6y
Cosyreader @TrishB Oh that‘s annoying. I need one too - I‘m currently using the Kindle app on my phone 🤦‍♀️ (edited) 6y
TheWordJar It wouldn‘t be Litsy if you didn‘t advise avoidance but still post the link!! 😂😂😂 Litsy is the best! 6y

I can't imagine not going to a book sale. Ever. It just doesn't make sense in my Abby-Normal brain. On rare occasions I make it out without buying anything, but that's okay because the thrill is always in the search. Today was one of those look-but-don't-buy-and-yet-still-leave-content kind of days. #bookhauls #booksales #thethrillofthehunt #shoplocal #indiebookstores
