Answer 1

Second hand stores and thrift shops are typically full up on books.  They may not even want them.  Your best bet is to go  (I suggest calling first so as not to waste your time) to a used book store.  They may want some, none, or all of your books. It all depends on their inventory.  Sorry, but even if they do want them, you may get a quarter a book if you are lucky.  Sorry, I know that this isn't the answer you wanted to hear.  I have had to resort to recycling centers to get rid of many of my books.  You get nothing for them.  I think a yard sale is your only recourse.

Answer 2

Probably at most 50 bucks.

Answer 3

The easiest way to figure that out is to take the list price and calculate about 10-20% of that. that is usually what you will get at used book stores. But childrens/YA books sometimes go for less or are not bought at all - it depends on the store. Selling on Amazon or Ebay could bring in  more money.

You should contact a used book store where you live and ask them.  You can either check yellow pages under used book stores or online.
