We Buy Books uses a dedicated courier firm, Evri - there are no Evri 'drop-off' points near me. Consequently, a considerable amount of petrol is required to drive 20 miles or so to deposit my books. Secondly, the purchase price offered by We Buy Books is very, very low. It will barely pay your travel expenses for depositing the books. Because there appears to be no competition for selling secondhand books, WBB can offer whatever they want; in this case, derisory prices. The books I sold were mostly academic texts; some of them were not easy to find. Perhaps WBB is more generous with novels - but I think this is unlikely...how many copies of the 'da Vinci Code' (or insert ubiquitous title of choice) do they need? In conclusion: donating the books to charity will be less hassle & you won't be losing out much financially, sadly.
