I took some new chart paperbacks and hardbacks to a car boot sale today that I had bought and read recently. Was being offerd 10p a paperback and 20p a hardback for them, I think i might hav epreferred to let them go to a charity shop as they tend to get a little more than that. I certainly won't bother taking any books to a car boot again unless I have lots of room going to waste, I wouild prefer to fill the boot with stuff that makes a better price.
As for the kindle, when I gave up my pro membership and starting dumping my business stock I bought myself a kidle on the basis that I would be bulk buying books any more os i might as well download them if I was going to pay for them anyway. I do still buy some books, usually brand new releases I am desperate for, and will often go to Asda or Tesco where they tend to have popular books at daft money, like £8 for a hardback in the week of release.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Yes I was talking about plural as I stated in my post, not just one CD or DVD. I took 7 oldish CD albums to a local record shop fairly recently and got offered £13 cash or £16 exchange so what I suggested isn't unreasonable.0
