Best Place To Sell Used Books In Bangkok

[Chunky1]

trying to get rid of some clutter and wondering where you suggest that i sell them 2 and how much i should expect to receive (so i can decide if it is worth even bothering). thanks

You have come to the right place. Your very own ThaiVisa has a classified section that is free. You can list them for sale there and see what they bring.

not going to take the time to list them individually. just want a one and done deal.

Well, you should at least list the genre. I'm into cars, but I wouldn't be interested in 78 books about tires. No, not being a smartas*, just saying.

And in the interest of slow typing, there are some really good copy programs in Pantip Plaza, MBK etc. on voice recognition software.

It's easy to install (they have a wizard to guide you through the whole deal), train and use, just need to buy a decent microphone and do it. It's the wave or the future and saves a lot of time. If you want a comma, you just say 'comma' and it shows up on the screen.

Yes, the voice recognition software of the past was crap and difficult to train, but now is now.

And yes, buying an original program is the right way to go, but good luck in finding one, and when you do, it will be triple the cost of an overpriced original overseas. Copy programs are 100 to 300 baht, originals are 2k plus baht. If the originals were for sale at a fair price, there would be a lot less copies.

"DASA BOOKS" on Sukhumvit between soi's 26 & 28 (Phrom Phung BTS) buys used books. You can access their website for more info:

Is the Hayes Neilson Library on Suriwongse Road still open?

They might be interested in taking the books off your hands, but not for money.

I second Dasa Books... I sell my books there, not for cash but for store credit. I then get more books to read, then once those are done, I turn them in for more.

Each time you get 50% of the price, so every time you trade in your books you end up with half as many books. I started out with about 100 books of my own, so I will end up with reading about 97 books more before they are all gone. I am ok with that as it will give me a couple of years of "Free Reading", after that I will start buying books again for a couple of years and then repeat the process.

You could try at www.farangbooks.com as they buy and sell books via Thai post, they also have the 50% buyback deal on any books you purchase.

Are you high or just mad?
