<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 350317, member: 1476"]Another option -- this one quick and easy -- is to find a reputable used book dealer nearby and let him/her cherry pick those with resale value. You'll make less than if you sold desirable volumes yourself but you also won't have to spend any of your own time and labor. (Caution though: most books don't have much resale value and pre-1940s isn't very old in the book world.) To give you a better understanding of what you might have of value, I suggest you post photographs of your books (in lots will do) on the forum. Members would be happy to get you started as to which, if any, are worth spending any time with further. (It may be that your local charity shop should receive a generous donation.) And, for what it's worth, I sell books on eBay. Like having the ability to provide photographs and the ability to auction and BO. Being a newbie shouldn't be too hard to explain away as all eBay sellers were once.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
