RE: [ALCTS-acqnet] Cash4YourBooks

Hi David, The library has not used it, but I have suggested the company to a couple of our "potential donors" who had very large collections that we just were not interested in.  Two of them called back to say they had used the service and were pleased with the outcome; they sold some and just donated some - bottom line they were able to clear out their basements and didn't have to move the materials themselves.

Hi David,

We have not used Cash4YourBooks, but I highly recommend Better World Books as a great way to recycle materials.  Ina Claggette was my account representative and was very helpful.

Good luck!

Hello Acqnet,

Has anyone worked with Cash4YourBooks (www.cash4yourbooks.net<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cash4yourbooks.net&data=02%7C01%7Clisa.a.ladd%40dartmouth.edu%7C26d0e92726f24ce9925c08d6c1b3d764%7C995b093648d640e5a31ebf689ec9446f%7C0%7C0%7C636909375490626625&sdata=Pp6WJrh7EGnbFNy9cQl4UdayI9O03OOmugpbpPkXx3A%3D&reserved=0>)? We are having some issues with our current 3rd party seller and are considering other options, and they reached out to me. It seems legit but wondering if anyone can share their experiences working with this company.

Thank you,
