Is there an easy way to get rid of 150 kids books and get some money?

I don't understand how people make money on eBay when most books sell for£2.80ish but the postage costs that much.
How do the business seller's actually make any money?
Is there a way of finding someone who would take the whole lot for say £50?
I've tried car boot sale but barely made the entrance fee.
Thanks

Ziffit? Gumtree? Otherwise, I think your time is probably worth more than what you will get.

Try Facebook. There's various groups on there for selling books.

Local facebook selling pages or Gumtree for bundles.

If they are young children's books then you could try selling them at an NCT Nearly New sale where you keep 70% of the proceeds.

Are there any second hand book shops near you? As an example, Barter Books in Alnwick gives approx. £1 per book credit on adult books that you can then spend in the shop.
