Title: How do you sell old books?
Post by: HomeGrownPromos on October 28, 2013, 10:05:20 AM: I recently had a moving sale clean out and as part of this clean out I got some pretty old, first edition prints of books. Mostly kids books, most notably a Charles Dickens. I could go the ebay route, but looking up these books, they're selling but only at a rate of 1 a month or so.

So aside from ebay and amazon, how do you guys sell your older, antique books?

I took some pristine grade books to one and they offered $25, $5/book. I was like really? Cause I was just at the antique store and they offered $200 but were honest and said they were worth more but that's all they could go.

I ended up selling them on a used books website. Not like text book site but old books, forums, Lit people....
Ive looked all over but can't find the site. I'll keep looking and get back to you.......
