Booksellers - how does a collector get rid of hardcover books?

I am a seller of glass products… we are retiring and downsizing our home … I have thousands of paperbacks and 200 or so hardcover books from 1970’s to when I switched to my first nook reader in 2009… I have NO interest in selling one by one on Amazon… so how do I sell them off?

Donate. Recycle. Craig's List. Put related books together and sell in lots on eBay.

Amazon charges an extra fee per item on books. Other platforms are better suited. Bundling is a good idea, as @Seller_Hi7wbO2Kbo6blmentioned. You can also take boxes over to a place like Half Price Books and see what kind of offers they give you. I like them when my time is worth more than the effort.

They may not have much value. You could try a used bookshop hear or or try selling on FB Marketplace or Craigslist in bulk. Otherwise, donate to a local charity booksale - the value of the tax deduction for the donation might be worth more than what you would actually get for them.

If you want to sell them at low prices at Amazon, you may try Social Media Promotions or Outlet Deal. If you try any of these options there are high chances that you would be able to sell off all the inventory.

Here's what I would do. Take a day or two and go through your books on Amazon. Set aside any that are worth dealing with. Say, minimum value of $20 or$25 (or whatever you think). Donate the rest and sell the better ones on Amazon or Ebay. If you have a grandchild close by, you might have them do this for a slice of the profits.

Sometimes record store reps make house calls to look at large collections. Call around and see if a local bookstore does this. They might give you a quote including pickup on the spot. That combined with what @Seller_rPhBMkxOAsL3I suggested: Go through and select what you want to deal with personally due to value.

I have sold a few books in my time. I agree with one poster to look them up on Amazon and list the better ones. The others if you can set up a bookcase (or just shallow boxes with the titles facing up) and put an ad on Facebook you will sell a lot. You might also run into someone like me who also has a flea market booth. The mass market paperbacks that go for a penny on Amazon are actually good sellers at $1 or so in my booth.
