I know you're wanting to sell the lot, but would you take $15 + shipping for Supple Leopard?

I’d bet that someone in the StSt forum / FB group would like getting a deal on these.

If you aren’t sure whether you have them, please update your initial post indicating that they are not currently for sale.

This post isn’t aimed at the OP, just thoughts about old or unwanted books in general and how to best move them to a new home...

One of the things I’ve begun doing with stuff like old books (including textbooks) is simply donating them to the local library.

They have the option:

-Put the book into circulation. In the case of some textbooks, the edition is still current and/or valid.

-Sell the books at their book sales. Since these events have far more critical mass than individuals posting online, they can usually move books of value to buyers and generate some income for the library.

-Sell the books online. In some cases, there will be an individual culling through the donations to identify books of higher value. These may get listed on online sites like eBay with proceeds going towards library operations.

Benefits to me:

-I don’t have to organize, photograph, and list books for sale.

-I don’t have to research shipping to various locations and then actually ship things out in alignment with post office operating hours.

-I can clear out space in one effort.

The OP is from a year ago. I can't edit it.

Maybe you guys should take off the edit limit timeline for this section of the forum.
