what are you doing with your books/sheets etc?

muffinz

I plan on selling my books, but the thing is the majority of them are covered in doodled as my concentration levels last about ten minutes -.-
as for my sheets, im going to keep them till im sure i dont have to repeat, the recycle them( yes im a bore, no bonefires for me!)
as for my notebooks, i plan on giving some of them to my 5th year friends and the rest in recycling or bin.

when do bookstores start accepting second hand books? the thing is i want to keep mine till im sure i dont have to repeat, but will it be too late to sell them by that stage?

Ideally;


but most likely sell them, I keep my books in good order so they're still worth a bit.

Bin/burn or keep to give to 5th years or whatever.Notes are straight to the bin tho.So nice finally having my room clean of all those damn english/maths/geo pages and copies!!!:)

Recycling all of them. I already recycled my 8 copies of HL (LC) maths when I dropped to down pass just a few months ago.

Doyler92

Yeah I'm the same as wonderfulname.

But money is low so will be selling most of them.

DancingQueen:)

Save them and give them to my sister so they're staying in the back of my press for a few years, if I have enough space for them. I might try to heave them into her room if I can.

I'm giving my beautiful folders that I spent so long perfectly filing things in when I was procrastinating to friends, some books to them that aren't in good nick because they can keep them as a ''spare'' to keep at home so they won't have to lug as many books around. The books in better condition I'm selling on schoolbookexchange.ie, I've already made quite a bit selling Junior Cert books on it, I recommend! Then hopefully I'll put the money aside to go towards buying books for when I'm in college, which are all incredibly expensive

Burning em. **** selling them, no amount of cash would be worth the satisfaction of seeing those beautiful orange flames...

Its bonfire night the day I finish my exams so in all likelihood it will resemble vietnam in the 60s........

sampras

JellyBeans92

Most of my books are in good condition..

And my accounting book costs 40euro new, so I should be able to get something for that one anyway..

highlydebased

In a box and in the attic so I can forget about them. After all the hard work I cant get rid of them...!

Melena

I'm selling my maths books to fourth years. I sold my two geography books today. Made a WHOLE ELEVEN QUID!!

I've recycled all my unneeded notes. I've kept my maths and physics notes from the Institute, though. Those might be fairly expensive.

pbowenroe

A friend spent 40 quid on a physics book I think, ended up changed a few days later and they only game him a tenner back. So I wouldn't be expecting a massive return on your book!

www.schoolbookexchange.com whats that like? would i get more selling them in a local shop or online?

fauxshow

I've never tried selling in a local shop so I don't know tbh! on the website you decide the price you're selling at, and then the people get in contact with you so I imagine it might be a little better than giving them into a shop... you could try selling and then whatever you don't manage to sell send into your shop

muffinz

So I just recycled allll my unnecessary stupid sheets from the past 2 years felt gooooood!
As for my books, their in a pile... the books that were given to me by teachers, i obviously cant sell them, might pass them on or else recycle/burn them...hmmm...

LovexxLife

im kinda frightened to throw away anything in case i might be repeating and it just seems so much of a waste throwing everything away!
But i really need to throw most of it out cos my room is just like a bombsite!!!

ChristianLC

I'm waiting for my results until I burn all of mine. Don't want to take the risk in case I have to repeat.
