[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5471718, member: 10479"] Check for Half Price Books in your area. Gamers don't mind getting a good deal on used books and there is no reason why you shouldn't get a few bucks back (and it will only be a few but better than nothing). [url=http://www.hpb.com/]Half Price Books, Records, Magazines, Inc.[/url] You might get more seeling through eBay but it takes more time and doesn't guarantee more. Of ways to donate that don't glean you money there are several. Donating to a library is good, gets you nothing, and library books often get stolen anyway. I find some great deals at Goodwill stores, like a 3.5 PH a few weeks ago for $1.89 plus tax. Lower tier thrifts stores sometimes have good deals but I find inner city locatons tend to have so much traffic that books get damaged if they are there for any length of time. Suburban thrift stores tend to keep their book sections in better shapes and cheap deal can be had at them if you trawl them regularly. Anyway, that's all of the options I can fathom. I'm a fan of Half Price Books and suggest you also sign up for their mailing which gets you regular coupons. You can use what they give you for your sold books in conjunction with a coupon on a gently used half price book for yourself or as a gift. Gamers will wind up with those books eventually no matter which way you go. [/QUOTE]
