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

[yalonde]

Only my college books. Never books that i read for pleasure.

[jechamer]

No. I generally just give away the one I no longer want.

[Yukiora 24]

If its an awful book that I no longer want then yes. I dont want a book that I dislike taking up the space of books I actually like.

[Nimbus Wolfsbane]

never

[Lin2412]

No!! And I haven't thought about giving them in exchange for money!! The only way I'd give my books away was gifting it or trading it for a new book with just my friends.

i once sold a college book i had bought. I won't sell literature books. i prefer to give away to a library

[Happily Candied]

I sold my college textbooks so I could use that money to buy textbooks for the new semester. I had a lot of regular books for all of my English/literature classes, and I kept all of those for my personal collection.

Other than that, I would never sell a book. Once a book is in my personal collection, it's with me forever.

If I didnt LOVE the book I will sell it to a used bookstore... But I usually LOVE the books I buy!

[chiliabowl1998]

I usually donate them to a thrift store

[prarich]

Not specifically for making money but to get rid of old stuff including old books, I have sold them to guys who buy old newspapers, books and other household items at throwaway prices.Otherwise I have given away books.

[Headbanginghunny]

I sell my textbooks whenever I can. I usually don't sell other books because I like to collect them. However, I have thought about it because money does get tight and I have a ton I could sell. That will still leave me sad though because it's like a piece of me is gone. Maybe that's why I haven't sold any regular books yet...I just can't make up my mind.

I usually just give them away

[autumnmarie]

I don't usually sell my books. If I need money I just work. My books are too sentimental too me, it's like giving away a puppy.

[GeonnaMarie]

I sell or give books away sometimes. It depends on if they're starting to pile up. I keep the books/series I really care for though because I may reread them at some point.

[CuriousJorgi]

I have sold my college text books that were not related to my field and I have gone to the local used book store to trade in books that I either didn't truly enjoy or knew I would never read again for new books. But most of my books I keep!
