I buy quite a few books from Green Metropolis but rarely sell through them as its hardly worth the return after paying p&p.
As I am not keen on listing items on eBay, can anyone recommend a way of selling books which are read once and are in really good condition?
I'm not looking to make a lot but a reasonable return would be nice!
If you do manage to sell books, I have found the service excellent. They email on receipt and I've never had a book sent be rejected for payment. Money follows promptly.
As a regular customer, they even sent me a free barcode scanner to speed things up.
I would imagine some are quite rare, would WeBuyBooks be a good place to unload them or should I get someone to check if anything is worth more than average first?
PiriPiri - I would use the site to check the prices of some of the books and if they are on the high side, then get them checked first
I've looked on eBay's completed listings and see that copies of books I own were not sold so I don't think it's worth listing them on eBay!
They are prompt and very fair on prices and never try to argue about prices always paying us right then and there, sure you could probably get more doing it yourself on Amazon or Ebay or even Abebooks but lets face it, it could take months for you to sell even one and it is a way of getting some cash raised quickly
Yes, I understand that they cannot take every book, but honestly who would be able to buy 200 copies of Dan Brown and be able to sell them when every charity shop in the land has multiple copies?

Both honoured the amount quoted online, but WeBuyBooks was much quicker in paying me - took about a week whereas Music Magpie took more than a fortnight.
In general Music Magpie paid more for DVDs, but obviously don't take books. WeBuyBooks gave me a price for almost all of my old books, the only ones they didn't want were older "chic-lit" ones.
