This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Used books are hard to move. This is one reason why most libraries don't take donations. These sales are for clearing shelves more than for making profit.
Not hard to move. Almost impossible to move. In my shelf apart from some old leather bound books from my grandfather (Churchils world history, complete Hamsund) and CE and hard cover 40k books I have nothing but paper trash
People need to internalize this. Generally speaking, nobody who has a choice wants our old crap.
I use the Norwegian finn.no (listings of everything from old books to cars to houses. Norway is such a small market that one service covers all) It's perfect for selling used (but little used) baby and child stuff. I have also bought a lot off Lego Duplo.
