Where can I find a set of used paperback books for cheap?

March 62010

I am looking for the Necroscope series books 1-5 by Brian Lumley. I found some sets on eBay but they’re too expensive. Can anyone recommend a place where I can get them cheap?
I need to be able to buy them AS A SET. If I have to buy each one individually, it will be way too much shipping costs.

I know you said no about eBay – are you looking for new copies, then? The link below is to 6 of the books currently going for a bit over $7 with shipping/handling $5.25.

If you need them new, check out one of the major online retailers of books, including someplace like Amazon. They often offer free super saver shipping (order $25.00 or more). It’s also possible some of them are eligible for the buy 3 get one free (This item is eligible for our 4-for-3 promotion. This is from Necroscope: The Touch)

You’re right – if you use a third party seller, at least on Amazon, shipping would eat it all up, because they have no ability to combine on this site (I sell there – wish they could combine). Some sites do, however, offer combined shipping, even you’re purchasing from an individual seller (might check half.com, alibris, etc).

How much would a small box of paperback books weigh in ounces.?

February 282010

The box has 4 paperbook books in them. I am needing this for e-bay as I don’t have a scale at home.

This can’t be answered without more information. It depends on the size of the books (length, width and thickness).

I have heavy paperback books that are 8.5" width, 11" length, 2" thick, that weigh 2 pound and. I have other paperback books that are 2.5" width, 6" length, 1/8" thick that weigh 2 ounces.

You could place the books in the box and keep it open, then take it to the post office where they will weigh it.

How much would a box of 38 paperback books weigh?

February 262010

I’m selling my collection of johanna lindsey novels and right now I don’t have a big enough box, but I want to get the books on ebay since I think the seller fees are free today. I suppose I could try holding them and stepping on a scale and then stepping on without it, but I wonder if you can give me a rough estimate?
Do you think if I just put a flat rate of 20 dollars, that that would cover me with packaging and gas and all the other handling fees?

I just weighed 3 books and came out with an average of 10-12 ounces. (Regular size paperbacks). Working with 12 ounces that comes to a few ounces over 27 pounds. Figure 28-29 with packing. You can ship books by media mail which is WAY cheaper through the US Postal Service. You can get shipping estimates here: www.usps.com

Everyody still hates Brad Meltzer in paperback.

February 242010

The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer.
Now available in paperback in bookstores everywhere.

In Chapter Four of the Bible, Cain kills Abel. It is the world’s most famous murder. But the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother. That weapon is still lost to history.

In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest. While mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world’s greatest hero: Superman. And like Cain’s murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found.

Until now.

How much should I sell paperback books for at a garage sale? What about Hardback books?

February 222010

Does it make a difference if I am selling books as a set? Should that be more or less?

25-50 cents for paperbacks
50cents – $1.00 for hardcovers

As for the set, you can ask a certain amount for a set, but be prepared to split it up if someone wants just one or two. Better to sell a couple, than carry the whole set back in the house when it’s over! good luck
