2nd hand bookshops

[Squashed_Fly]

Does anyone know of any good 2nd hand bookshops in Wiltshire. Quick google search didn't bring anything up that useful. We have (literally) hundreds of books around the house, that we want to sell, and just wondered what a bookshop would give us for them, before we go through the rigmoral of listing them all on ebay.

Might do them as a job lot on the bay if I can't find anywhere local, but some are expensive books etc that Jen used for her Uni courses so hoping to get a better price for some of them.

You can sell via play.com

Might do, but with about 1000 books, it'll take forever to list them all. Was hoping for a quicker, job lot sale.

Ebay is going for around £100 for job lots, so will take out the valuable ones to list seperately, and do the rest as a job

have you tried amazon? the uni books might go well on there, dont know how much it is to list though

Charity shops will have them. Or what about donating them to hospital libraries?

[Squashed_Fly]

We want the money for them Nooj - trying to get rid of a load of stuff at the moment to free up some space and earn some extra pennies.

We do give away all our older clothes to the Hospice charity shop by us, but we'd like to get something back for the books.

I went with Kev and Connor.....so didnt have time to really investigate the place but I probably would have been in there for days rooting through all the shelves hehe.
Best second hand book place Ive been to (except for a really old book shop that was in Old Town in Swindon years ago but its gone now :-[)
