  • Is there a website that buys old paperback books?

    Posted by admin on January 31st, 2010 and filed under paperback books | 2 Comments »

    I have a TON!! of paperback books. I don’t wait a book exchange because I don’t want anymore but I do want to get rid of them or sell them to someone that does want them. I am not good enough to use ebay or Amazon plus there is a lot competition on these sites to sell books. I want someone to buy my books and then do what ever they want with them. If there isn’t a website someone should start one because I bet they could make money.

    You could donate them to a charity organization’s thrift shop (like Salvation Army, Discovery [American Cancer Society], or Goodwill.). Donation = tax write-off, rather than cash for your books.

    Or, depending of condition of the books, you could donate them to your local library. The library may have a policy not to accept gift books, but it is worth asking.

    Hope this helps.

      There are some great websites that allow you to trade books, CD’s, DVD’s etc. See my profile for link to titletrader and paperbackswap. This allows you to get rid of an item you no longer want and get something you do want in return. Titletrader is awesome because you can trade books, dvd’s, cd’s, games and vhs tapes. So if you get rid of a book you may be able to get a dvd in exchange. Paperbackswap is only for books. Both sites are great!
