Good afternoon fellow devotees. We are in the process of relocating and will need to do some downsizing. I have about 400 LEC titles and need to downsize my collection. Who or what is the most efficient way to accomplish this? I am not looking to donate them but to sell them. Thank you.

Have a list of your books and the price you want in a document and LT members can PM you to get your list and make offers. Sell the titles that don’t move on eBay. Or just sell all of the books on eBay. 400 LECs is a good size collection, you might contact an auction house such as PBA Galleries.

Add me to that list for a list. If I can save a few bucks and you can make a few extra bucks avoiding sellers fees/time spent selling online; I consider it win-win. I have ebay feedback I can point to as a buyer, if that matters.
