Swap Books

My solution to buying or selling books is to swap your books for another book, cd or dvd. This helps to lessen the carbon footprint, and you get an item that you want! There are a few swap sites that you should check into, such as swap.com

I have also had good results selling and swapping books with used book stores. Some stores will swap a certain number of books for the ones you want. Some will give you store credit and some very nice ones will also give you cash. My best cash sales were from books that were hard bound, had their dust jackets intact and clean and were not book club books indicated by having a cash price printed on the inside flap of the dust jacket. Also certain subjects were popular - science fiction, local authors, mysteries and historical/biographical, cook books, and/or rare books in excellent condition.

Paperbackswap.com
SwapaDVD.com
SwapaCD.com

These are other good sites for swapping media.

Questions

Here are questions related to Swap Books.
Book/DVD Swapping Sites

Do you belong to a good book and/or DVD swapping site? I've gotten burned out on PaperbackSwap.com the last couple years (receiving more and more unswappable books, members that won't follow the site's own swapping rules and then flame you if you report it, etc.).

Are bookins.com and bookmooch any good? Or do you know of any other good sites; does Amazon.com still do it and are they any good? Thnx for any help.

I'm a member of Bookmooch and I'm very happy with it. I've always received the books quickly and in good condition.
