So looking for recommendations/suggestions of places to try xx

    By the far the best, pay quickly, in cash and reliable. You can usually find a code to raise your offer by 10% too. They have trust pilot reviews and very high ratings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them :) If you have time and are selling current books or textbooks however, you will always do better selling them yourself on Amazon Marketplace. But this may also not give you an instant sale. HTH

  • For online try Amazon, Ebay, Walmart etc. There are lots of online platforms which you can easily use to sell your books.

    Unless they are special in some way they are unlikely to be worth selling. However, always worth looking at The webuyanybook type of site, just in case.
