Seattle Used Bookstores?

[cj001f]

Any recs for selling?

[mattp]

I'd be interested forr recommendations for buying, as well. Some shops seem to consistently have interesting things but at varying prices, while some may be worth a look just because they are cool!

 

What are you sellling, CJF?

 

 

[olyclimber]

I haven't sold any (given away a lot), but Half Price Books or Twice Told Tales. See here for addresses/contact info:

If climbing I bet you can get a better price here. What do you have sucka.

[cj001f]

Heh. Mostly guidebooks for various parts of the US and world. Some older stuff including collectors editions. But thats harder to part with

 

I was looking to sell some physics books and some paperbacks.

[Dechristo]

chessler would probably give decent prices on the collectors' editions

[olyclimber]

But give us first shot before Chessler. We don't want your paperback romances though.

As someone for whom books are tools of the trade, I'll make the following suggestions:

I would recommend that you don't sell your books to Half-Price...I brought in about $300 worth of books once and they offered about $5 worth of store credit or cash or whatever. I know what books are worth and I felt totally exploited. On the other hand, I buy a lot of books from them for cheap because of suckers who don't care what they get for turning them over.

 

I suggest that you offer your climbing books for sale right here on cc.com. List them with what you think might be a fair price or be willing to negotiate. (to see what independent book-sellers are offering in price for the same individual volumes, consult:

Advanced Book Exchange , where lots of them post their inventories.) You've got an excited and interested audience right here. Maybe they'll even buy your physics books!

Wait, wait, not so fast.

 

Do you have anything from the Backwoods Hussies series?

"and true to the code of the hills"

Light and fast?

[olyclimber]

the code of the hills is being ripe for love. thats why i'm so into climbing.

[mattp]

Do you have anything cool, like the old Beckey-Bjornstad Leavenworth guide or something? Private Dancer?

[olyclimber]

I have one of those. SIGNED BY AUTHOR. Out of print hard to find. But since I got it I've seen 2-3 in various bookstores, so maybe it isn't so rare.
