I think what has happened is that people have always had lots of extra books. I must have over a thousand here. What used to happen is that when such people died, the books were thrown away. But now there is a place to sell them online, and they are getting sold to people who want them more than used to be possible. I need to figure out how to put them online or give them away, as I have already read many of them or may never read them and there is just too much clutter.

I just did that yesterday ,a few blocks from is a book bin for people to dump their books and I`ve been filling it for the past month. It`s as for profit organization but the bulk of my stuff is old text books so if they can make money from them more power to them. At l;east 5% of my books are stuff I picked up on the street so better in the bin than littering the sidewalk. I often see people leave boxes of books on the sidewalk for everyone to grab. vhs tapes and a rare desk top. too bad I don't have a pickup. I can get a nice selection of small computer desk.

Are you saying you know a specific place online where you can sell your used/read books or just that you can sell them online in general? I have hundreds of books and in the past I've donated, when it gets out of hand in my home, to a local library.
