A good home library can be an inherited treasure. Unfortunately, paper editions take up a lot of space, moreover, among them there are such books that are read very rarely. Instead of throwing away your old books, try selling them.
Instructions
Step 1
There are almost always old books on the bookshelves that you want to get rid of. Of course, the easiest way is to neatly place them next to the dumpsters, but you can also try to take advantage of the old volumes. First of all, you need to sort the books that you no longer need. Textbooks, reference books, dictionaries, publications of works of art should be put in separate piles. It would also be a good idea to compile a list of volumes indicating the publisher and year of issue. Of course, this is quite painstaking work, but it will greatly facilitate the subsequent sale of books for you.
Step 2
The easiest way to sell unwanted books is through second-hand bookstores that specialize in reselling old editions. As a rule, the scheme of work of such a store is as follows: you bring books for commission and evaluation, the sale price and the percentage that the store charges are negotiated with you, after which the publications are put on the shelves, and you are waiting for a call that you can come for money …
Step 3
Unfortunately, bookstore space is limited, so your books will only sit on the shelves for a while. If they are not sold within a certain period of time, the store will offer you a lower price, and then return the editions altogether. Even so, you will have to pay a certain amount for storage, so for a second-hand bookstore it is better to choose books that can quickly buy.
Step 4
Another way to get rid of old books profitably is to try selling them online. A considerable number of antique shops have their representations in the network, and they are always interested in rare editions. If you have several pre-revolutionary volumes lying around, you can sell them, literally without leaving your computer. On the Internet, you can place a free advertisement for the sale of collected essays or old textbooks. This is where the catalog compiled earlier will come in handy.
Step 5
By the way, you can place a free ad in a specialized newspaper, as a rule, there are such publications in every city. Finally, you can simply write your ads by hand or print them out on your computer and post them near your home. In fact, almost every book is needed by someone, and your only task is to find this person.
