Used childrens books in Jacksonville typically sell for $3 to $16. Children’s books sell in bundles almost without exception, and the two things that lift a bundle above the rest are a named series and honest disclosure of scribbling.
Selling childrens books in Jacksonville
Jacksonville is a large naval city on the water with a warm, humid climate. Fishing and boating gear has a deep local market, and the humidity is the thing to ask about for anything that has been stored in a garage.
The city covers an enormous area and the river divides it, so the crossing you need matters more than the distance. Collection is by car and parking is easy nearly everywhere.
Humidity and salt together are hard on anything mechanical or electronic. Ask where it was stored, and for a boat or trailer check the wiring and the hardware rather than the paint.
Jacksonville, in Florida, has around 950,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Miami, Tampa and Orlando are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Jacksonville
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
