    I also got that message. The only place I've managed to sell chick lit books is with Amazon trade-in but for only 25p a book you don't end up earning much.

    I've used webuybooks.co.uk and got a decent amount for the books I was sending. Of the nearly 50 books I checked they would take 10 which was around the same as Zapper.

    Webuybooks sent me a cheque promptly and I would definitely use them again.

    It's worth checking both Zapper and webuybooks for prices as sometimes one will give quite a bit more than the other for the same book.

    thanks for postin this, i was wondering what on earth to do with the many books that ive collected lol
  • Thanks guys. Agree with the first couple of replies in that they won't take any of my books, including a lot of non fiction :( Zapper would take some but i've not got enough that they'll take for the amount you have to send off. I'll try amazon trade but i'm not holding my breath :)
