Can you sign up without a credit card? Sounds an ideal option for me if that's possible.

Yes, you can. I don't own any credit cards. You will need to provide bank details so you can be paid any money from sales though.:p

Well, quite . Thanks for that.

Take them to your local Oxfam.

Even Music Magpie turn some items down, so you will be lucky to get a price for them tbh.

I even see book banks at my local tip - I wonder whether they are just pulped or something because stuffed in a bin like that they can't be in any decent condition when they come out .

You'd be surprised how much decent stuff we (I run a charity bookshop) get from book and music banks. However there are also the inevitable phone books, argos catalogues and single shoes for some reason...

Anything we can't use we recycle for money, it's not much but more profitable than just dumping them.

There are book banks in the car park of my local parish hall, but also at the local tip - I wonder if you can tell the difference?!

Good to hear they are being used for something other than pulp.

On the subject of single shoes, you should see the battery recycling bin at our local town centre Sainsbury's. Full of cr*p and looks like it hasn't been emptied in a while.

There's also bookmooch.com

Works on simillar principle to greenmetropolis as I've used both. But you get credits to "buy" other books from other users on the site. Good if you want to swap your books for other books rather than just have the cash.
