  I have no idea- I'm so sorry. Selling books is tricky- e-bay may turn out to be too much of a hassle. I had a friend once who worked for a discount bookstore at an outlet store strip-mall. She actually turned a profit for a while by buying books from her work with her employee discount and selling them to Powell's. Have you heard of powells? It's in Portland Oregon I believe it's the biggest bookstore in North America.

  I would try The Strand just because it's so big, but I have no idea what kind of prices they pay.
  
  I know that in Berkeley, the used stores don't pay anywhere near the good money they did when I first moved here 15 years ago.

    I have made thousands over the last few years selling books on Half.com. It's a slow process, but it supports my book habit.

      Hey orlando. Maybe you could start a tribe that sells used books. Or maybe there already is one.
