We use better world books and book prospector. With BWB, you scan the book, they tell you if they will take it or not, they supply boxes and postage. They want you to wait until you have 6 boxes to ship. They sell the books, hopefully, and you get a percentage in either cash or credit with Alibris.com with payment after it reaches $100. You can track your sales online.
With book prospector, they tell you how much they will give you for it and you either accept or decline. We have gotten $0.13 to $17 for a book. They also supply postage but you supply boxes. You can ship one box at a time. They send a check I think quarterly, and you can also track your sales online.

You will be told if the book is needed, and what they will pay. If any of you have experience with these or other sites, please chime in. Thanks.
