Getting rid your old books, try this site

hi kingparker. thank you for this information. i havent surfed the site yet. i was wondering though, is this applicable for english books only?

I've got a couple of other sites you can use to get rid of your books. Paperbackswap and bookcrossing. On Paperbackswap.com, you list the books (in good condition) that you want to get rid of, people request them and you ship them out. In return, you receive a credit. With that credit, you can order any book that another user has listed in the system. If you don't want to get rid of any books, you can still get books by buying credits I believe it's around $8 for 3 credits. $8 is a great price for 3 used books, especially since you can often get more than that. Checking the book bazaar in the forum, you can usually find people who have so many books they offer deals -- 2 or 3 books in exchange for 1 credit. If you want to have a little fun and don't mind not getting anything in back for them, try bookcrossing.com. You register the book using the ISBN, you get an ID number for the book. Which you put in the book with a bookcrossing label. Then you release the book "into the wild." Some people just leave them on park benches, newspaper dispensers, etc. Some people get creative, like leaving a copy of "Rose Red" in the garden center at your local home improvement store. The fun comes when people find your book and actually go to bookcrossing.com and post comments about the book. The ID number ensures that you get the comments for your specific copy of the book, and the people who comment can either sign up or post anonymously. People also do book boxes, in which they mail out a box with 10-20 books (generally paperbacks all around a particular theme) to the first person on a list. That person takes out the books that interest them and replace the ones they took with books from their own collection then mails it on to the next person on the list. In the end, the person who sent out the box originally gets the box back, usually filled with a bunch of different books. It's a lot of fun.

What an interesting concept! I know there is quite a market for buying and selling books on line. I had a friend who made pretty good money for awhile. She did good at it. it's interesting though the books that are worth more than you would think!
