Hey everyone,
i have quite a few English books (biographies/fiction etc) that i have collected throughout my year in Korea that i would like to sell before my contract ends. It would be a shame to throw them away.
Does anyone know any second hand English bookstores in Seoul that may buy them??
I'm not expecting much for them but at least something is better than nothing and i don't want t throw them away.
Thanks.

sell them here

What The Book at Itaewon

they have their own website you could check out for direction/exact location

but if I remember correctly, it's exit 3 - walk straight until the next intersection and turn right -

right after the international market ...

or just go to whatthebook.com and look at the directions. you can call them too; everyone there speaks English. the customers speak English too but they usually don't like to be bothered - this includes photographs.

and yes, you can sell them here too. just list what you got. shipping in korea is fairly cheap and quick.

great, thanks for your help.
Should i just go to the store with a bag of books or should i email them a list with each book before?

[kaosjin]

Eliminate the middleman and post the list here for sell. I am sure that you will get more for your books and it saves us a little too.

buy the book is your best bet, its just up the street where the fire dept. is. its not too far past the indian resturant.

[pjmancktelow]

what the book wont give you cash though. they wil only give you credit and then it can only be used on more used books. not new ones. they dont give a very good price for the books either. gotta make a profit i guess. sell them on here in my opinion.

[Evanzinho]

What about the used bookstore in Noksapyeong? Do they give money for used books, or just store credit like What the Book?
