Asked by newuser10138244 20 months ago

Details:

i would like to sell 2 very old books that have been in my family's possession for a long time. They were published in 1901 and 1908 respectively. Both are french. They are entitled:

- Histoire contemporaine de l'Europe et de la France 1789-1900.

- Cours de philosophie par F J Mame. Editeur Tours de Gigord Paris.

Can anyone please advise where i should post these books for sale?

Thank you.

There are several ways of selling your books.  I don't know what you have or haven't tried, but I will give you a couple of sites to try.

Almost forgot, check the sites carefully and you will notice that some of the ads are the same company as some other ads, and also there are those who are offshoots of another company (usually in the same business).

 

Amazon.com

> Sign in > the left-hand side of the page has a column marked 'selling on Amazon' > select 'sell your stuff > a page will appear for you to fill in the particulars of your items.

 

I do believe that you do have to be a member of Amazon first.  This isn't really a problem as pretty much all that is involved is enterring your information, and you're in.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller/sell-your-stuff.html

 

 

If you don't like to go that way, you could probably sell your items on E-Bay.com, but that will involve opening an account, if you don't already have one.

 

Please note that if you want a certain amount for your books, and if you decide to list them here, you will most definitely want to include a minimum bid price.  Either that or begin your listing at a given amount.

 

http://www.ebay.com/

 

I will include a few more here that you can check out online.  Please be careful that you get what you want for your books i.e. Read all the fine print so you won't be receiving any surprises.

If I am going to lose money, I would rather lose it to a student or someone else who may need it for school, or a course.

"amazon or ebay"

YOu could try to sell it on either amazon or ebay, or you could take it to a local rare book seller and get it appraised. There are a few books by F J Mame available, most of them are selling for 10-20 euros, so like 20-40 dollars. Unless your copy is in excellent condition, it is probably worth more as a family heirloom than its price in dollars. I haven't seen any reference to the history book with out the author's name is is hard to search. If it has nice bookplates, it is probably worth a little bit more than the other.
You can set up an account on amazon and list the books there. This is probably a better place to post than ebay because a lot of people look at amazon for books including old and used books.
