Default Selling Library Discards

Has anyone ever sold books clearly marked as a library discard? I noticed that my library has a large room of books for sale and for sale cheap.

I thought I'd take a look at the titles and write some down and then come home to check what they sell for on ebookdrop.com, amazon.com and half.com. But I wasn't sure about the whole "discard" thing.

Try amazon.com. You can never tell what people are looking to buy, especially with books. Good luck to you!

I thnk you can sell them, just be honest with people and say they are library discards so that people know what to expect.

How does ebookdrop.com work? I've heard a lot of people say they used them. But I'm thinking that they probably wouldn't want discards.

I might buy a couple at the library and list them at Amazon&/or half.com and see how they do. Is there a problem listing books at both places? The main problem I could see is if you didn't remove the listing from one place when it sold the other place.
