How to Sell Books Online: Bulk Buyers

Whether you are getting ready to move, looking to make quick cash or just tired of having all those old books around, the newly streamlined methods of selling your books online to a bulk book buyer make the whole process a real snap. You will certainly not be getting top dollar for your books, but the speed and simplicity of liquidating an unwanted library makes this a competitive service for those looking to move out their books and be done with it.

Those who are looking to unload some of their books as quickly as possible should consider going through a online bulk buyer for some fast cash. In order to get a quote for each book, simply stop by their websites and enter the ISBN numbers of each of the books that you are looking to unload. Because each bulk used book buyer bases their quote on their particular need, you can cherry pick which books to sell to which vendors at the highest dollar. Once you've accepted an offer, you will have an invoice to pack with your books that you can use to double check that you are sending them the correct books. The best part is that the bulk buyers pay for your shipping with a shipping label that you can print from home. Once they receive your books, you should receive your books in one or two business days.

However, there are a few precautions to consider when dealing with these companies. First, remember that they are buying these books for resale and cannot accept books that are not in good condition. If you send them books that are not in keeping with their posted quality standards, they will neither pay for those particular books nor be sending them back to you. Also, they are not responsible for any damage that occurs during shipping. There is a bit of an art to packing books tightly, the principles of the video game Tetris come to mind. Do sure not to use newspaper to fill in the gaps, as a picky buyer will take issue with the black print that will smudge onto the books in transit. Lastly, be aware that the free shipping that comes with your sale does not include tracking, and you will not know whether the books have arrived safely until you receive word from the buyer. I assume that these buyers are on the up and up, but I cannot attest to having done business with each and every one of them. A cautious seller might consider starting with a small sale or two or upgrading their shipping to something that offers solid tracking.

Here are the three of top online book buyers. At the moment, I've found that Powells offers the consistently highest prices and largest range of books, including a great deal of fiction.
