in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
Are there any websites that purchase second hand books? I'm looking for something like Magpie that purchase second hand CD's, I have tried selling books on Ebay before to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

    Books are my main line and I am not aware of any place where you can sell them like you can with music magpie.

    However, you can sell them individually on sites like Amazon or Playtrade or for smaller books greenmetropolis. Amazon is the biggest seller of second hand books via private third party sellers, and there is a thread that I will find and bump that you might find of use.

    Alternatively if you offer them as a job lot on the Amazon seller boards you might find someone interested but expect them to pay no more than about 10p a book.

    If they are popular titles you wont get much money for them anywhere. So your better off just giving them to charity
