Selling second hand books through bx-zone.com, gives you following advantages -

First and foremost benefit of selling second hand books through the used bookstore of bx-zone.com is earning more money than local second hand bookshops.

Why? Because when you list your books on bx-zone.com, you expose them to the interested buyers which can be students or book lovers or bibliophiles who are really interested in buying your books. In this way, they end up paying you more than what a second hand book shopkeeper would pay. bx-zone.com brings your second hand books to people who value your books.

Second benefit of using bx-zone.com is that listing second hand books in its used bookstore is free. This adds to your profit. Think if you had to give a share of the money you receive from a buyer in the form of a convenience fee, it would have reduced your profit but that’s not the case at bx-zone.com

Also, using bx-zone.com’s second hand bookstore helps you sell your used books directly to the interested buyers which keeps the value of your books intact. Imagine your old textbooks going to a junior student from a family that doesn’t do well financially but they really need them which is why they opted to buy them at a lower price in the first place. Think about your old novels of Jeffrey Archer or Sidney Sheldon or Amish Tripathi being read by someone who is really a fiction buff like you. People who are into books want to maintain their worth and bx-zone.com helps you with that.

How to sell used books on bx-zone.com

The process to sell used books on bx-zone.com is so easy. Here’s it is listed in steps -

• Open the website www.bx-zone.com
• Log in or sign up if you’re a new user
• Click on ‘sell my books’ option in the main menu
• Fill the details of your book on the ‘sell my books’ page, set the price (I recommend setting it at 50% discount), select the city as ‘Surat’.
• Enter the description, ensure that it exceeds the required number of characters.
• Mark the location in the Surat city where the books are available. That means the place where you would like to hand over your books to the interested buyer. I would recommend to keep the handover location as someplace in your neighbourhood, near by mall or your office rather than your own house for security reasons.
• Hit the ‘submit’ button and you will see your book appearing in bx-zone.com’s used bookstore.

You’re going to receive multiple ‘interests’ on your books from multiple users after your second hand books start getting attention.

You will also know from which city a particular interest has come from. Choose the ones which are from Surat and start contacting the buyers.

You can negotiate directly with them, fix a meet up and meet with them at mutually agreed time at the meet up point.

At the meeting point, you will handover your used books to the buyer and take the money which you can use to buy more books from bx-zone.com

I would also recommend that after your book is listed in the used bookstore of bx-zone you edit them once every 5 days to keep them on the top.

Another tip is that you share your book listing on your social media accounts and messengers such as whatsapp to help it reach the maximum number of people. This will increase the reach of your book listings thus increasing the chances of attracting interests.

2. Amazon.in

You can also sell your second hand books on Amazon. You can get started for free by selling your old books on Amazon that are accumulating dust. No online platform has a wider reach than amazon.in not only in Surat but in entire India. Make sure you enter the right description of your books and set a competitive price.

3. putforshare.com

putforshare.com is another online platform where you can not only sell your used books but donate them too. You can free up your shelves by putting your books on this website for sale.

They offer free door pick-up and by selling your used books on putforshare.com you earn store credits that can be used for future-purchases.
