i thought you might have stuff you were reading for the tiptree, and that sort of thing interests me a lot -- anything that does unusual things with gender. in general i am interested in SFF, more in speculative fic than in fantasy, much more in social/psychological than in hard. i also read a lot of mysteries (here, too, the more psychological it is, the better). not so much fiction these days, but some. no energy for difficult literature (alas, pynchon). even more general, i hardly read any short stories these days; almost only novels.
i have a long list of books that i am looking for in specific which i should really put online at some point. but i buy a lot of stuff that i've not been looking for, if it feels interesting when i pick it up.
if you have a list of what you're selling, that would rock.
and as i said, i'd be happy to pay you a decent price for the books (plus shipping, of course); i can certainly pay better than the average used bookstore (here they pay a max of 1/4 of cover price, and sell at 1/2, for paperbacks). shipping books from the US is no more expensive than shipping them within canada, which is perverse, but hey.
