How do I sell 600 + Jewish books cheap?

Recently Sinai Reform Temple of Bay Shore NY closed its doors. It was a reform Temple.

We ended up selling some of the stuff to local churches real cheap and donated other things to nonprofits.

NOBODY WANTED THE LIBRARY BOOKS!!! We couldn’t even give them away. As a last resort the Temple was going to throw them out in the garbage. I rescued them. The library books, the children classroom books and prayer books.

There asre at least 600 books and that’s the problem. Due to the weight and sheer size it is impossible to transport them.

I tried selling them in the Long Island Craigslist and Ebay.

I clearly stated that the purchaser will have to pick them up.

The only real response was from someone who sight unseen said that they would give me $50 sight unseen. That price was an insult. I sold about 25 books to an Orthodox Rabbi for $100. He agreed that they were worth more but he couldn’t spend any more. A week later I see some of them on Ebay for a lot more money.

So here I am with 600 books + and i need to get rid of them. I want $375 which is both fair and very cheap.

The books are from a reform Temple. Selling them 1 at a time is too time consuming. I have someone who is selling some of my books and we are spiting the profits but i just want to get rid of them.

I have 1 person who will give me the $375

but they want me to hold the books until Aug. 1st. I just can’t hold the books that long because of space. His people came from Brooklyn to inspect the books and said the price was very fair but they would need a cargo van to move them. I wouldn’t take the money.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Barry
