Introduction
Selling the books you've read frees up space and brings in some money. Here's how to get the best price.
Which books sell well?
Popular bestsellers, news, nonfiction, first editions, signed copies, books in good condition. Old and worn books, cheap magazines, outdated reference books usually do not sell well.
Condition
Check the condition of the book - covers, spine, pages, stains, tears, writing. Try to sell only good and very good books. Clean books before selling.
Pricing
Find out the prices of similar books - see other ads, bookstores, antiquarians. Consider condition, rarity, demand. Be prepared to haggle, especially if you're selling multiple books at once.
Photos and description
Take high-quality photos - cover, spine, title page, defects if necessary. In the description, indicate the author, title, publisher, year, volume, condition, notes (signature, ex libris, etc.).
Channels
