Trying to sell a book, read it once, published last year. The prices offered by online book sellers are terrible!!! Music magpie....48 pence, world of books £1.48 !!! Tried Facebook marketplace but I'm waiting for them to approve my age 😂😂😂😂 I'm 56 😂😂😂does anyone else think the price is very low on the resale sites?

Books don't hold their value the newer they are. If it's only published last year there will be many copies readily available.

Try Vinted, that’s where I sell my books now.

They have to pay the cost of postage which is expensive, sort, store, resell, page for postage and pay for postage again and make money.

You won’t get much more on Facebook market place I don’t think, most I see on there are advertised about £4-£5and then normally sell for £2-£3
