    I've got a book to sell but unfortunately it's not listed on Amazon or any UK site and I'm not sure how much I'd get if I tried to find a foreign site to sell it through, especially with postage. It's a Dutch Technical Handbook (don't ask :rolleyes:).

    Naughty Play.com have not refunded any of my fees from items sold in April yet - I hope they do soon. Last time they ran this promotion at the start of Jan they did refund the first 10 items' fees

    If you want to sell them all quickly, then a car boot sale or table top sale is one route. You will probably get less money than from a website, about 20p per book and you have to pay about £5 to get a pitch, but you get the cash there and then. For some fiction, there isn't much profit on Amazon etc anyway.

    Another thing, I sell books on Amazon and often check prices of a title on Abebooks.co.uk before listing if it's something that might be rare or valuable. Doesn't happen often but you never know. Put in the ISBN.

    Abebooks is definitely good for seeing the general going price for out of print books etc. Only last week I found a book I'd bought a couple of years ago for £15 is now selling for £150-250.
