Thread Name: BS: Best way to sell used books online?
Subject: RE: BS: Best way to sell used books online?
Yeah, I know, Rapaore. I have books stacked all over which I have had for years. I was just telling Rog that I have a hard even thinking of selling them. I would rather give them to friends whom I know would appreciate them!

Now the stuff I get from the bookstore, yes, I think those I could sell!

SRS, good idea. I might think about that. She had suggested focussing on genre, but it would be up to me. She would hold a check, from me, for any books I would take, in lots of fifty, but I would get the individual checks/payments from buyers. After I sell the first fifty, I pay her half and get my check back OR, she holds it for the next batch. She does nothing with my held check unless I never bring the books back or pay her from the sales of them. I should also say we are talking about paperbacks only. She prints out the ISBN, pricing labels with her bookstore name on them AND also the seller's name, i.e. my name. The profit level goes up the more books you sell. She has a lot of good suggestions on how and where to sell them, too, including ebay by the book lot.
