New Year, Less Stuff

I am cleaning out my closet and my bookshelves. I want to start the New Year with less stuff.

I know a used book store in DC and it’s lovely to shop at but the one time I sold some of my books there I felt more than a little ripped off. I could donate them to the library but I’ve done that with several others and would like to at least make some profit back on them.

I have a few I think I can sell over near the college campus. One ships internationally and I’m sure they’re on someone’s curriculum somewhere. They are also willing to pay cash which is an incentive.

I found a consignment shop for women who enjoy carbs one county over but you have to pay a fee for them to even look at your stuff and if they sell anything I have to drive out there and pick up my check. At this point it’s 100% out of my way but it’s also an excuse to leave the house. There’s one in Bethesda near where I do trivia that I want to look into but I don’t know if they only do skinny bitch clothes.

Most of these places will only look at donations via appointment which makes sense but is still a pain for everyone else. They also on schedule appointments for weird hours.

Does anyone have any recommendations on used bookstores or consignment shops in DC or MD? Since The Boy is relocating to NOVA I’ll take suggestions for there as well.
