If you are a foreign student in Japan, just like me, you must have a lot of book to throw away when you move of go back to home country. Although we can sell them on Amazon.co.jp, but ：
- It takes a lot of time
- Over 20% of profit will be taken by amazon
- You cant sell them in one package
There happen to be a old book dealer called BookOff in Japan, who can help us out in better way.
First you need to log on to bookoff.co.jp
You need only 4 steps: Put books into the box, apply for package collecting, hand out the package, receive the money.
There are simple rules for selling your books to bookoff. You need to sell at least 20 books a time, or 3 CDs. After you made the application, postman will come the the address to collect the box for free, then bookoff will send you results，you made the confirmation and transaction is done. Bookoff saves us time to go to its stores, although you get less than selling books on amazon by your own. For those books might worth less than a YEN, bookoff will send you confirmation for recycle, if you disagree you can get these books back, but I never did, who wants these books anyway?
Beware that that they are offering free box ：
Because you need application number for empty boxes, and sometimes you will never able to send books without them, so you need to make the application little earlier, maybe 3 days.
Here is an example of my books to bookoff
I sold 30 SLAM DUNK comics for 2700 YEN, 1 novel was labeled worthless, and I agree. Other than book, wan also sell games to bookoff too. Hope this will help you have a better time in Japan.
