Have you ever wanted to clear out your overflowing bookshelf? Have you ever considered selling a book you haven't read in a year? Today, I challenged myself to sell 100,000 won worth of books at Aladdin in Yeonsinnae to clear out some books. I'll explain in detail how to sell books, including my review.
Check if it's available for sale at Aladdin Used Bookstore
Unless Aladdin is a charity, we don't buy every book. Books that are badly damaged, yellowed from age, or otherwise unacceptable to others are also not worth buying.
So, there's a clear way to know if the book you're reading isn't one people are interested in: download the Aladdin app. Download the Aladdin app below, and you can easily check whether a book is for sale.
Even if the book you are trying to sell is a book that was purchased not too long ago, If there is too much stock in the Aladdin store, there are times when purchases are not made, so be sure to check through the Aladdin app.And please take the book.
Using the Aladdin app
Launch the Aladdin app downloaded via the shortcut above. At the bottom center, you'll see a barcode-shaped button. Click it. This will take you to the camera screen where you can capture the barcode.
Scan the barcode on the back cover of the book you want to sell. Aladdin will then display whether the book is available for purchase and the price.
Scan the barcode of the book you want to sell
Now, let's scan the barcode on the back cover of the book you want to sell. Then, the purchase price will be displayed based on the information on the barcode. I recently purchased a comic book called Running Man, which my children like. Not available for purchaseno see.
I paid 8,500 won for it... but it's not available for purchase. I guess it's because so many Running Man books are coming into secondhand stores. It's disappointing, but there's nothing I can do.
This time it's a book in good condition Everything is inspirationThis book is about a marketer named . The purchase price for this book is listed at 5,700 won. Few books are priced this high.
A good, recent book in good condition typically sells for around 900 won, and you can expect to pay around 3,000 won. I've taken about 70 of these books, and for them to fetch this price is truly exceptional.
Other reasons for non-purchase
- If the book is torn or separated into pieces Not available for purchase
- If the water or contaminant size is 2 cm or larger Not available for purchase
- If the book has yellow mold Not available for purchase
- If there is an appendix, you must bring it with you to get the full price.
Sell 70 books on Aladdin and earn 90,000 won
I paid 3,000 won for parking in the paid parking lot right in front of the Aladdin store in front of Yeonsinnae Station, which is relatively close, and filled 4 shopping bags.
I brought about 80 books with me, and about 10 to 15 were in poor condition and unavailable for purchase. I sold the remaining 70 books and received a profit of about 90,000 won. Since I had paid 3,000 won for parking right in front, I made a profit of about 90,000 won.
I cleaned up the messy books that were cluttering my bookshelf, and I felt even better when I got 90,000 won back.
I regretted not doing something so refreshing now. Also, if you sell a book on Aladdin for the first time, you'll receive a 5% reward point refund, which you can use to purchase used books.
For book lovers, it's a great feeling to be able to buy clean used books at a low price.
But what if you have a lot of books that have been sitting on your bookshelf for a long time, unread, as if they need to be emptied before they can be refilled? Sell those books that have been sitting dormant on your bookshelf, and create a wonderful opportunity to welcome new books.
