If you inherited your grandfather's library, and you have no interest in reading, look for rarities among the books. Perhaps you got old books that are not only of historical value, but are also the subject of collectors' search. And in this case, you can make money on the inheritance.
Instructions
Step 1
First, assess the condition of the book yourself. Even the oldest and rare edition is unlikely to interest the buyer if it is in a deplorable state. The sheets of the book should be readable, not badly torn, without notes in the margins and stains. If a book falls apart before our eyes, it will be almost impossible to sell it.
Step 2
Encyclopedias of pre-revolutionary editions are in great demand among collectors; collections published during the life of the author; limited edition books. Among encyclopedias are popular books on weapons, military affairs, geography, history.
Step 3
Go to an antique or second-hand bookstore to see the condition of the books being sold, their approximate cost, and what assortment. Look for the exact titles you want to sell.
Step 4
You can return books to a second-hand bookstore on a commission basis. The store can take the book from you for sale and give you the agreed price of the book after it is sold. You can at any time refuse to sell services and pick up the book in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Step 5
The cost of the book is estimated by an expert. Naturally, it will be priced below its market value. After all, the store must have its own percentage of the sale. And you will be completely protected from money fraud, especially if the book is expensive.
Step 6
There are sites on the Internet where lovers of old books and antiques put things up for sale. Some resources are closed and available only to registered users after checking the data. This is necessary to ensure maximum security of transactions.
Step 7
On such a resource, post an advertisement for the sale of a book with a photo and a short description. But expose the price less than in antique stores. After all, it is the lower cost, in comparison with stores, that attracts collectors to such sites.
