Where to sell used books in Chicago?

The skyline of Chicago is the epitome of modern-day architecture and civil engineering; when you see the 100-story tall John Hancock center in Chicago, you get that ‘wow’ feeling.

By any chance, if you are a food connoisseur then Chicago-style hotdog, deep-dish pizza, Maxwell street polish sausages will touch that part of your brain that gives you ecstasy.

Proximity to Lake Michigan, top-notch skyscrapers, food, and jazz music make Chicago the second most visited city and the third most populous city in the United States.

However, a proportion of Chicago’s population, which comprises bookworms, book readers, bibliophiles, and students, encounters a question on a day-to-day basis which also forms this article’s next sub-headline.

Where is the best place to sell used books in Chicago?

A lot of students and book readers in Chicago feel the need to make space in their bookshelf or study table so that they can accommodate new books.

A clear solution which they think of is to sell used books for cash (their own) using which they can buy more books.

A bookworm may feel like selling his/her collection of literary fiction which he would not want to read again ever.

A student could have the need to sell used homeschool books when he has moved to a higher grade.

In such cases, the cash earned from used books can be used to buy books which they need in the present.

But this solution brings another question to the table - where to sell used books in Chicago?

Since I spoke of cash hence, any student or bookworm would wish to earn cash on his/her used books more than what a used book scrap dealer around the street corner can offer.

Thus, to sell used books in Chicago where should you go, so that you sell your books to the right buyers from whom you can get good money on your used books.

The best place to sell used books in Chicago is in your smartphone and laptop

I am going to give you a solution not only which is free to use but is going to bring the right buyers for your books to your doorstep.

The solution is on your laptop or you can access it using your smartphone too.

All you have to do is visit the online used bookstore of bx-zone.com.

The website of bx-zone is the necessary solution to sell your used books.

The concept of bx-zone is quite simple - students and bookworms list their used books in its online used bookstore which are then exposed to the visitors from Chicago who are seeking to buy books at a low price.

Basically, you are asking ‘who buys used books in Chicago?’, then bx-zone finds you the buyers from around you, and finally you sell the potential buyers your used books directly.

When you sell your used books in this way, a win-win situation gets created through bx-zone.

You are going to ask me how?

Suppose you have listed your used books to sell online through bx-zone. Tomorrow, you receive an email carrying the contact information of a potential buyer on one of your listed books.

You ping the person on WhatsApp and after chatting with him you found that he is genuinely interested in buying used books of yours.

You fix the deal and you two meet up at a safe pick-up point where you give your books to him and collect money.

Think what happened here?

You earned cash on your used books, and the buyer got the books he wanted to read at a much lower price than the market because sold those books to him at a discount.

Isn’t this a win-win situation for both used booksellers and used book buyers?

bx-zone makes sure that one person’s saving is another person’s profit.

How much should I sell my used books for?

While listing your used books you are surely going to encounter a question of how much to sell used books for. What discount you should place on your used books such that they attract buyers?

I will tell you that anything less than 55% is good enough to attract buyers for your used books.

Obviously, you know your books better than anyone else but I am giving you an average percentage at which the book buyers tell themselves that ‘this is a good deal’.

Suppose you want to sell rare collectibles, which are put on sale at higher prices than their MSP. In such a case you can mention in the description about your book being a rare collectible and its features.

bx-zone is also a good online place to sell your used textbooks because many students seek to borrow textbooks from their seniors or their elder siblings but the quota of such books is limited.

As an alternative, they turn towards buying textbooks at a low price for which they visit the used bookstore of bx-zone and I believe that the best way to sell used textbooks is to give them to the worthy students who indeed need them.
