About 18 months ago, I brought the entire stock of a Secondhand Bookshop in Sydenham that was devastated in the Christchurch earthquake. The value at that time was said to be 50 to 60 K. the gentleman told us that he" didn't buy rubbish."

My intention was to list and sell the books, one at a time on trade me. Actually, to tell the truth, I thought my Husband might like to do it, but, guess what, I WAS WRONG!!! To be fair, he is an exceptionally talented man, and although based at home, he has much tastier fish to fry.He also now wants the garage back!

I did start to market them myself and found it to be very profitable making an average price of around $5 per book. Sadly my 50 hour working week doesn't leave me much spare time, after cooking and cleaning etc, and a 2 hour commute. Are you hearing those violins??!!
SOOOOOO...here is an opportunity for you to convert approx 5000 books into cash.

It is really easy to list them by searching old listings and cutting and pasting the info onto your listing. There is always the potential of a book fair, either by yourself or in conjunction with a school or charity.

I am willing to assist with the loading of the truck that will be required to transport them to your place. They take up a small garage, and are all packed into boxes and labelled as to classification.

Do email us if you require more info...
