And how much do they pay for them? I have a ton of books I would like to get rid of before we leave Korea.

yes but not much

post what books you have (or photos) and a reasonable price and you will probably get someone to buy them (I love buying bulk loads)

I would love to sell them in bulk, but I wouldn't know how to exchange money. I live in southern jeollanamdo.

Just get someone to transfer the money into your bank account then mail them when you receive payment. I'm pretty sure that's what most people do around here. I would like to take a look at some of your books also.

I can't speak to What The Book, but I sold the foreign bookstore in Itaewon a bunch of books before leaving, and I got paid next to nothing. Selling here on Dave's probably would serve you best Smile

About twice a year I buy books from some selling teacher, and I'm about due for another buy. I usually pay 3-5K per book, maybe more for something special, maybe less for something beat up.
