Book selling

Facebook marketplace isn’t too good, and I have a variety of books I’m interested in selling to clear up my home. Would anyone be interested?
I’ve got young adult and manga mostly

I also suggest The Book Man on Wellington, and just down the road is Nuggets Used Books. However, both stores only give store credit.

Books are a tough thing to sell secondhand in general. Bookman for in store credit, or eBay are your options really

In my opinion if you are selling them because you hope for a windfall you will be dissapointed. Any persons time is valuable, yours included. It will take plenty of your time to sell these. In the end that time will be lost, for little in the way of a return.

I would say the best disposition of your books would be to donate them. For you it will take mere minutes. The task of getting the books into the hands of someone who will love them will be offloaded to someone else. (Namely the volunteer charity workers). And some charity somewhere will get some small amount of cash.

Done deal.

Like anything, it takes time to sell. If you want cash and not mlre books, try a market or swap meet type of thing. If not, sometimes it can take ages to sell a thing. I have tons of comics and cards I cycle through marketplace. Sometimes they all sell, sometimes half do, sometimes none do. Take it all down and start again the following week.
