I have a HUGE collection of Mack Bolan, Stony Man, Able Team, Phoenix Force, and Vietnam: Ground Zero books I am considering selling (because downsizing and moving college)
Where would I sell these (Craigslist maybe?) and how much would they be worth? They are all in near perfect condition too...

If you don't mind mainly credit for more books from Powell's in Portland or for PayPal credit try here
BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest.

Sorry to tell you this, but unless they're wanted by collectors, they're probably not worth a whole lot, or anything at all.

Not a bad idea, I'll look into it! Although... most of these books are from the early 80's to early 90's. They are still in good condition though!

Some people collect them... worst comes to worst I could sell them to the local used bookstore for 40% of their resale price which is 50% of the cover price... which would be around 75 cents to a dollar each if not more! And there are around 200 of them...

They'll pay you that much for them? I worked at a used bookstore before and we would buy book collections for something like $10 for 500 books.

Okay, scratch that. Closer to 40 cents per book :(

Damnit...
I'm probably not going to sell them then... I've bought a couple of those books for that much :(
Definitely not a good return on my "investment"

Now my dad says they are going to "go away" when I move out for college... so I don't really have a choice :'( I guess I'll list them on Craigslist...

I was going to suggest keeping them until you really can't have space for them. You did read them all, didn't you?

So look at it this way. You paid to read them, now you have. Isn't that your moneys worth?

Sure...? I'll probably start listing them on CL tonight or tomorrow... if they don't sell before I have to leave (mid august) I'll take all them to the book store

Powell's is the biggest used bookstore west of the mississippi, they buy lots of stuff, I have picked up multiple books over 100 years old from them

I already tried their pricer thing... it said $0.00 even with 15 different titles from the series entered :( I don't think they would accept them
I'll probably put them on Craigslist for $150 OBO for the set of 250 and see what kind of offers I get... if I don't get any then they go to the local used book store (Book-a-Holic) which IIRC does 40% of their resale value (50% of cover price)
AMGtech - now with more recalls!

Powell's FTW! I can easily kill a whole day and could kill a whole paycheck in there with just slightly less restraint. Used to get legitimately lost in the downtown one.

Super easy to do downtown, I get confused now since they remodeled part of it. Also, so easy to blow a ton of cash there without even trying
