    The usual palces are Ebay and Amazon - Amazon tends to dictate price - type the isbn number into the search box and it will show you how much (or how little) they are selling for. Bestsellers and anything popular will be a penny, mostly, which means if it sells you get £1.41 and then have to spend on the postage which will be a minimum of 92p probably, for a paperback less than 2.5cm thick.
    Not very good, but the only other way is probably to sell them for 50p each at a boot sale. Other people on here have used Zapper, sorry no experience with them- but I can see from their front page you type the barcode number in and see what you get- I'm afraid the world seems to be flooded with secondhand books, but good luck with it!
  • Green Metropolis is an online charity bookshop where you can sell books of all kinds at £3.00 per book.

    Have you had any luck? I've got hundreds of chick lit books but Zapper and webuybooks won't accept any of them which is frustrating.
