Book Rescue & Clean-Out Service

Clear the clutter, give your books new life!
At Forage With Me Books, we don't just resell books—we also donate to individuals and organizations in need. We work hard to find new homes for books, ensuring they are kept in circulation and not thrown away.
Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or reorganizing, I offer personalized book clean-out services that make it easy to part with your collection. Here's how I can help:
Full Clean-Outs: Moving to a new home or office and don’t want to take all your books? I’ll help you clear out books and ensure they find new homes.
Library Weeding: Perfect for libraries or schools looking to refresh their shelves. I’ll collect your older editions or donations.
Office Purges: College professors or professionals, I can assist in sorting through and removing books when you're changing offices or clearing out space.
We are always on the lookout for vintage, antiquarian, and unique books, but I’m happy to take modern titles too. I offer fair rates for books so you can free up space and maybe make some money while doing it.
Books Sales
We primarily sell our books through eBay and Amazon. Throughout the year you may find our pop-up sales in the NYS Capital District. Over time we will move more of our books onto this site and not just on eBay and Amazon.
Over 50% of our inventory is not on eBay, so if you are interested in something particular, please let us know.
We are adding books to our website all the time. We’ll start with some of our Antiquarian, vintage, and local history/authors. Any books we have listed on other platforms like eBay, and Amazon are always going to be sold for far less here. We don’t have to pay fees to third-parties it’s a beautiful thing!
More about
Forage With Me Books
Hi, I'm Jim, the passionate book lover behind Forage With Me Books!
Based in the heart of Rensselaer County, NY, I specialize in connecting people with literary treasures, from antiquarian and vintage books to newer titles looking for a new home. Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply downsizing, my goal is to help books find their way into the hands of eager readers.
What sets me apart? Transparency is key. When evaluating and pricing your books, I’m upfront and honest. If you have valuable books, we can sit down, look up what they’re selling for together, and come to a fair agreement. Whether it’s an antiquarian first edition or a beloved collection, I ensure you're well-informed every step of the way.
I also offer full-service book clean-outs. I won’t just cherry-pick the valuable titles; I’ll take everything, from dictionaries to paperbacks, helping you reclaim your space quickly and efficiently. This includes working with libraries—I'm here to help you weed out your collection, scan the books, and even pay you for them. I understand that your staff’s time is valuable, and I can save you both time and money, while often offering more than the larger outfits.
At Forage With Me Books, we do more than just resell books—we're committed to giving them a second life. We believe every book deserves a home, and we go to great lengths to ensure that books are not discarded or wasted. Beyond selling rare, vintage, and modern titles, we also donate books to individuals and organizations that need them. Whether you're looking for a specific title or have a community initiative, we strive to connect books with people who will appreciate them. Our mission is simple: keep books in circulation and out of landfills by finding them new homes.
With a passion for books and a commitment to making the process seamless and enjoyable, I'm here to rehome your books and help readers discover their next treasure.
