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.

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. :D
