I have a load of Usborne children's books that I need to get rid of (preferably by the end of the month when we move house), any ideas where I could sell these? There is 3 boxes of them so I don't really want to have to list them all on Ebay!!!

Are these books you have used whilst being a rep? If so, another Usborne rep may like to buy them from you to demo, or sell cheaply if they are no longer current.

I expect you could find a rep near to you from their site.

People who sell used books on Amazon often trawl through ebay listings of bulk books and the lot will almost certainly end up going for a lot more than you'd get out of fatbrain. This is only if you live in a fairly well-populated area as obviously the person would have to come and pick them up (you could price up couriers but they'd probably be too expensive).

When you list on ebay try to list the ISBN numbers for each book - that way people who are buying to list individually on Amazon can very quickly check how much your edition of each book is going for on there.

I have tried contacting local reps but unfortunately it seems that they all are having the same problems that I did with Usborne and understandably don't want to invest in more stock.

Thanks to posters for the info on fatbrain and greenmetropolis - these look useful

I sell on Greenmetropolis and definitely recommend it. I'm there under the same username as here, although I admit I do slash prices to compete with other sellers...I just reduced ALL my stuff in order to be more likely to shift it as I'm desparate for cash and there are a lot of people offering some of the same books for sale...I've got about 70 on the go at the moment!!
