Hi, I'm new here so not sure if I'm in the right section even (apologies) .I have been having a massive clear out and have a small black bag full of kids paperback books that I would like to try and shift but for some money if I can.I didn't want to do a car boot and know that I have sort of missed the boat on them but also around here they are really expensive(I think) to do (approx 10-12 quid) and the stuff I have, I don't think I would make that back.I have been doing the cash4clothes type thing and have got a bit back for the clothes/bags/shoes I have shifted and I have found one that takes cuddly toys so am going there on Monday.
I know about Fatbrain but they don't want any of the books I have.I have tried greenmetropolis in the past but books just sit there for ever.I wouldn't mind getting 10p or 20p on each book as they are a bit tatty, read, but creased and well thumbed.There is a 2nd hand bookstall at our local market and I spoke to her and she was a bit huffy as in if it isn't mint I'm not interested which I can understand.
I don't want to just give them to charity as our local shops are refusing books as they have so many and I worry about what happens to the ones they don't sell.If I were to put an advert in the local paper I would have to pay wouldn't I? I suppose I could advertise more cheaply in local newsagents but I really do want to try and get rid of them quickly.
I have tried googling online and found a cash4books which I got all excited about until I discovered it was an American site.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
