Second Hand Books near Birmingham/Solihull

NotreDame

HI

Does anybody know of any second hand book shops near to Birmingham or Solihull or surrounding areas that buy second hand books. I have boxes of them, and find that they don't do that well at car boots. Any ideas for any shops that will buy them from me in bulk would be great.

Thanks

You may want to drop these people an email? we drop in there about twice a year and they have a range of second hand books and they obviously buy them from somewhere

Birmingham market may have a second hand book stall, but I doubt if they would give you much for them. My mom sells some of hers on Greenmetropolis.co.uk (sp?) so could give them a try.

have you tried putting an advert in bargain pages or local free newspapers?

There is one at the top of Digbeth high st just before you get to Selfridges. It's near to 3 bus stops a green building next door to a papershop, try there.

I'm going to try this Green Metropolis Site. Looks really straightforward.

Has anyone tried Play.com for selling books? What were your experiences of it?

I had terrible trouble with Play selling my items twice and not even bothering to tell me when i had a sale, I eventually closed my account. I have around 200 listed on Greenmetropolis and sell about 1 every 6 weeks. For real sales you can't beat Amazon, if you find you can't cover your costs on there then the book is not worth selling and best just taken to a charity shop.

There's an Amazon thread here you might find useful:

If you use the contact page at my site - ricksbookbasement.co.uk I will contact anyone who wishes to sell books.

Cheers,

PS I'm in Solihull, hence the reply to this thread. Hope this doesn't count as illegal advertising.
