selling books when they only go for 1p?
I know the general advice is to put them up at higher and then leave them a long time, but I have a few books on my bookshelf that I've had for years and the price hasn't changed on them.
Would it be a better idea to bundle them together and see if they go on eBay as a job lot?

If you are selling standard paperbacks on Amazon for 1p then you are making a loss, if you are selling them elsewhere and 1p is the net proceeds I would just charity shop them.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.

I second what Soolin says, sometimes the Amazon postage allowance doesn't even cover the postage costs - not worth it

I have bought the odd job lot of books from eBay - quite cheaply!!
Selling books at car boots or on eBay is very hit or miss. As none of my unwanted books are worth very much I now let them go to charity shops.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
