Did you ever sell a book in order to make money?

[Renu G]

I've usually given my old books to friends or donated them to libraries. Now I collect ebooks instead of paperback.

[ShannonHBC]

I've sold and donated quite a few. I really don't like owning things I don't need (anymore).

[Aniza Butt]

I sold my course books after my exams..didn't wanted to read them again.

[ayomie]

No I've never done that.

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

I have indeed sold a few books online. You can't deny it's a good way to make some money. However, I have donated plenty of books as well. It's completely useless to have books that could be read by others!

[lisalynn]

I have sold many many books. Once I've read them, they deserve another good home.

[srividyag1]

That's my worst nightmare, having to sell my books because of abject poverty But yeah, if the books were written by me, I would love to sell them and sell more of them

[luz0928]

Yes, the books that I know I will never read again. The money is good for buying more books hahaha

But I keep the ones that made me feel something special.

[Osero]

Yes, I sold all my course books after exams to make some money for upkeep and have also donated quite a number of books after I read them.

When my husband and I first married (17 years ago!), I bought vintage books at library book sales, flea markets, and garage sales, and sold them online to make extra money. The most money I ever profited on a single book was $100: a rare volume I picked up for a mere fifty-cents.

[Maralynx]

Yes, I did. A couple of times because I couldn't stand the book, but it seemed popular, and sometimes for charity. I have even sold some to the local library, as it turned out that I had a better collection than they did.

[Kister Bless]

I have never sold my books before for money. What I do after reading a book, I lend a friend who loves reading like I do. I do not sell the books that I have purchased because at times I re-read some of the books. Maybe when I will have completed writing my own book I will sell it for money.

[WhiteLotus]

I've sold books for money, I've traded books in for other books, I've donated to libraries and gifted/passed them on to friends. I've done it all, I guess.

[bmfought]

Usually I give them away to friends and family.

[rumik]

I've sold books but also donated some to libraries as well as given them away for free, I guess it depends on a lot of factors...
