[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just purged several hundred books when we downsized. I took them all to McKay's out in Manassas and sold them. You won't make a ton of money doing this, but you will get something for them and know that they will have a second life. [/quote] on average how much did they give you per book? contemplating a trip out there.[/quote] I can't really say how much they gave on average per book because it varies a lot. Some might get you 20 cents and some 8 dollars. A recent hardcover blockbuster bestseller is going to get real money and a paperback book on gardening from 1981 won't. I'd say I got between $20 and $35 per trip, with each trip being 3 - 4 of their buckets filled. I was happy to get the money for it, but the big thing was getting rid of them in a systematic way that wasn't contributing to a landfill. [/quote]
