#SellBookRemainders

Sometimes books just don't sell as well as the publisher expects. The garage or the basement is full of unsold, out of date books. What to do with them? It's a dilemma.

You could try a joint venture with a charity - they get the books at a good price, they sell them to raise funds and you share in the profits.

As a last resort, you could try selling them to a remaindering company, which is a company that buys books at a large discount from publishers and re-sells them at trade fairs, etc.

The dilemma of the publisher is in knowing what a fair selling price would be. Generally, the remaindering company will purchase for 5% to 10% of the retail value. They may or may not pay the shipping costs. Your job is to negotiate.

Contact several remaindering companies, ask for bids on the price they will pay to you and specify that shipping must be included in the price.

Accept the best bid (after you have checked their references).
