I recently did an count of books and somewhere between a lot and way to many i have determined that i need to sell many of them. I was wondering if there's any places in the pa Philly area that one can sell new or very gently used books. Or any places online besides ebay or craigs list. Im wary of both due to bad personaly experiences .

Try amazon. I don't know how you go about being a seller there, but I've bought many pre-owned books from private owners through there. Good luck!

Amazon is easy to set up and it just takes half a minute to list your item. But they only allow you to place the books which they have in their sortiment, so if they don't have your book then you can't sell it there (at least thats how it appears to me). Also amazon charges (in my view) more then ebay does, but also it gets much quicker to put your books on as they already have the picture, description etc. in there...the first 14 days (at least here in UK) you don't receive the money you earn, afterwards you can start requesting it whenever you want. Another downside is on amazon that you can't decide your postage costs and have to consider them in your price you expect, which once was a big loss for me as postage ended up being 8 pound or so but I only got charged postage just below 3 pound or so from amazon...gosh was I annoyed on that occassion...however, I prefer amazon to ebay as it simply is soooo much quicker to set up and quite a lot of my current study books (the once which I don't need anymore anyway) are on there :o) Already got about 250 pound back again, that way :o)
Good luck :o)
