I always list my library's sale on that site. Not many people travel out to our neck of the woods to buy books, though.
I have fond memories of the huge library sales in Connecticut. If anyone's in the area of Newtown, CT, in July, this one is excellent. I've been there many times.

Thanks! There are 2 local libraries having sales soon, I'm gonna go scope it out.
Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.

I just went to a library sale from the site you posted... OMG! $5.00 a bag (large paper shopping bag) for as many books as you can cram in there!
I cleaned out the ancient history shelf. Got me some Caesar, Plutarch, Tacitus, Plato... ended up with about 25 books for $5.
I will be a regular at area library sales. My wife has a mixed reaction... on the one hand, more books. On the other hand, less money for them. So its a lose/win for her.
