200 books for sale...but how?

If you are giving to charity, can I suggest Oxfam. Not particuarly for their charitable work, but because they are the most efficient at squeezing money out of the book buyer. They seem to have very good systems in place to discover what is of value in contributions and selling those at as high a price as possible. Not so good for the cheapskate buyer but it does make the gifter feel that the contribution is better valued.

They also have a really good online shop. I don’t really have the time or inclination to go into town to wander round a handful of charity shops in the off chance I’ll buy something. But I do browse Oxfam online charity shop for goodies!

I had an almost complete collection of Winston Churchill, most first editions. I sold the lot through Forum Auctions. Much less than I would have got myself on Ebay etc but absolutely zero hassle, they came, collected, catalogued & sold and a few weeks later, credit to my bank account. No regrets.

The problem with an Amazon listing is you can't be away when the book sells as everybody expects next day delivery for 99p or free these days.

Any progress, @Gsailor?

No. On the backburner... not literally of course... too good to burn.
