I've retired, and am getting rid of books I no longer need. I contacted Book-Off but they were not very interested and said they would only take English hardback books. I live in the Kansai area.
Any suggestions?

Re: Selling English books
I gave all my books away on Craigslist - were picked up within a day or two of posting.
Selling used paperback books in Japan sounds very ambitious even for a card carrying capitalist like me.

Mercari - I've sold quite a few on there and you get much better prices than taking to Book-Off etc - typically 500 - 800 yen for a paperback novel.

Facebook groups.
Search for Sayonara sales, Mottainai or similar keywords.
Or if Ben and other members are fine with it, list them here. I would definitely be interested.

Re: Selling English books
Thanks, all, for your suggestions. I tried Craigslist a while back for other items but no response. I'll try Mercari and may also list them here in case anyone interested.
Re: Selling English books
Don't do FB. Is it ok with Ben and others to list them here? There's 7 hardbacks and about 50+ paperbacks. (The + means those I plan to re-read one final time before letting them go.)

One post is fine. Or a link to somewhere you are listing them.
