Alternatives to Ziffit?

Good Morning, I hope this is the correct forum for this subject, seemed the most likely.
Having moved house five years ago, last year I realised we still had boxes of books still in the Garage and unlikely to ever see the light again.
I was recommended ziffit and have been thinning out and getting a little back in return. Generally they've been good, but the last couple of trades have seen the book offers be fairly low and more stuff being rejected. this could be a reflection of the market or I wonder if the more you use them the less they offer?

Anyway, can anyone recommend an alternative trading site for books?

    Depends on the books, but values are dropping.

  • Good Luck with Ziffit. If they reject your book its on their say so. No proof not even a simple photograph or even the reason given when first rejected. Had a book rejected because of no ISBN and yet I input the ISBN to get the quote from them. You can scan in your books via a mobile to do a trade and yet they cannot scan the book to prove there is no ISBN. Spoils the experience. This is a book readily available on the internet being sold with a ISBN

    Quick update, Momox were fine although they use Myhermes as a parcel partner and the process seemed to take a little longer.
    pretty much the same pricing as Ziffit.
    thanks again
