I saw a sign the other day that said, “We buy junk and sell antiques”. It made me laugh but I think there’s a lot of truth in that. We don’t try to turn junk into antiques but we are great recyclers. My favorite way to recycle these days is buying and reselling books.
I wish I could say my husband and I are the original recyclers but I know there are many who have come before us. We have always enjoyed buying used items at garage sales and thrift shops, fixing them up and adapting them to our needs. At first it was out of necessity but as time went on it became a fun hobby. When we discovered online auctions several years ago, we soon realized that not only could we continue with our hobbies but have an outlet for the overflow as well.
The decision to sell primarily books after selling anything and everything, comes from the fact that we have a house full of them. Books of all kinds. Books are easy to ship safely and can be shipped at a reasonable price. If a person is able to read, sooner or later, they will be looking for a particular book.
In the past, we have sold new and used books for any and all hobbies, including crochet, cross stitch, knitting, plastic canvas, quilting, scrapbooking, sewing and tole painting. As an online seller, we found it was important to have some good reference books and price guides to determine what an item is and what it is worth. We will be listing those types of books also as they become available.
Having acquired a ton of music books over the years, I am including them on this site too. And cooking - who doesn't love cook books? I have lots of 'em and they are easy to find at yard and garage sales. Please feel free to try a couple of free recipes that were given to me by my mother. These dishes were always at our traditional dinners and are still favorites of my family.
