    Flea market is one. Distributing fliers within your neighborhood listing all the available books for sale with pricing could be another option.

    You can rent a booth or space at a local flea market. You are better off though having a yard sale, due to the low overhead. Remember that you will likely not sell all of your books, and you will be highly unlikely to get rich selling them.

    Another possibility is to donate them to a public library and take a deduction from your income taxes.
