Subject: RE: BS: Best way to sell used books online?
Sorry about that folks. Pressed the wrong button so there are probably many spelling mistakes as I'm not a typist but I use spell check when I'm finished.
I got heck once from a buyer who said that before I list as first edition that I should make sure of what I was saying. He was very critical but also very constructive. I wrote back and thanked him. He pointed out that my first edition was a "Book of the Month Club". No where on that book did I read this. And no where would I have found it written. Except on the back of the cover there was a small indented "dot" at the bottom of the cover. And the dot was the same color as the cover. I learned a very valuable lesson.
The books that I can't sell I give to the local church for their yard sale. About 3 months ago I boxed over 600 books and they were shipped down to Katrina victims. Two years ago I gave over 1000 books to a community that was collecting books to open a library. I never throw a book out.
If you care to go to e-bay and somehow find my handle which is "noah_black". You will see some of the books I am presently selling. I think I'm aloud to say this?? All of these books are valued well over a $100.00, yet I paid next to nothing for them.

I'm not getting rich at this but it has helped me buy a "Blueridge BG40 Guitar and some extra for beer money.
