Is everybody wishing/looking for? Newbie who doesn't have a whole lot of books to give away needs to know what to look for in some of the local thrift stores where I can get some books for as little as 10 cents. Wish there was a "most wished/looked for" option for the site.

Thank you

Check out Community->Top 50->Wishes->Calculate 7 days (or 30 days), and it will give you a "most wished/ looked for" list.  Or just to a look at my wishlist and post books directly to it if you find them:)

By Golly there is! Thank you

hehe ;)

I have found that books on writing get snatched up pretty quickly.  I posted a bunch that I had sitting around and all of them were requested (most were not wishlisted) with a couple of days of being requested.  Even books that were 10-15 years old. 

Paranormal romances usually go pretty quickly also, especially Katie MacAlister and Sherrilyn Kenyon.

New age books on magic, wicca, etc fly off my bookshelf.

In addition to the above, cozy mysteries and fantasy series tend to move pretty fast.

I find that classics go quickly, too.

Also I've had success with cookbooks.

ETA:  LOL, Kellie!  I just checked your shelf and I see that you have several cookbooks.  Maybe my advice isn't the greatest tonight!  Hopefully some of those cookbooks will be snatched up soon.  :->

How-to books often go pretty fast.  I posted How-to run-a-bed-and-breakfast and start-a-corporation, and they went in a couple of days.  If you're buying books to post (as I do), keep in mind the balance between desirability and weight-and-postage.  I did not buy the 2 mentioned above, someone gave them to me.

That's great about the thrift store.  Wish I had one handy like that.  I used to go to one that had great books for 25 cents, but it's 60 miles away now.  I pay 50 cents or a dollar at the Friends of the Library book nook.

If you belong to a free recycling group, you might ask the group for books they don't want.  Free books are the best value.  Though the gas cost to pick them up is a factor.

Anime/manga and graphic novels fly off the shelves as well, I never can post them without them being gone almost immediately.  And of course, I can never find enough of them to order.

Memoirs/travel memoirs go really fast too, especially recent ones.
