Default Re: What do I do with my books?

If you had more time, or could move them temporarily, then half.com is the answer.

Last time I moved I was in a similar position. I simply can't throw away a book, and I refuse to sell them for 25 cents a box to a used book store that's going to make a ton of money on them.

I sold hundreds of books on half.com, some for more than I paid for them, especially specialized ones. Fiction doesn't bring much.

The ones that had no substantial value I grouped up and sold on eBay. One woman was thrilled to buy a partial set of classics (the rest were lost in a flood), for $10 for her non-profit organization.
