    Default Places to sell books and patterns?

    I used to sell my books and patterns on various sites, but many are gone! Any suggestions besides etsy? I am going to move soon and it is time to clear out.
    Thank you,
    Gerrie

    I sold tons of books to Half Price but they give you so little for them. But the truth was I just wanted them gone.

    i'd just as soon give them away than bother trying to sell for the little I would get for them. I put some on the Free table at guild meetings.

    I always check ebay and Amazon when I'm looking for a book or pattern.

    I use a used book store also. I probably wouldn't be able to afford my reading habits without used book stores. I've found some good out of print sewing books too.

    There are great stash selling sites on Facebook. They are "groups" so you have to join them which may involve waiting a day or so to be approved. You can always unjoin whenever you want.

    Look up Sew It's For Sale Everything, Quilter's Market and Quilter's Classifieds... on Facebook. There are more. I sell fabric there.

    Join one of the Facebook sites for quilters who want to destash what they have. Quilters Mart, or Quilters Classifieds is another is one of them. At least check out the ads there to see what yours could sell for.

    I'm surprised no one mentioned here. There is a thread on here to sell things. Right now there are few things available.

    Maybe no one mentioned (here) because she is new (2 posts) the rules here require you to be a little bit more active/ established.
