Hikin' Mama Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I was looking it over and it seems like they take out alot of fees, but it looks pretty simple (compared to ebay, which seems complicated to me). I am very technologically challenged. Give me a piece of paper and a pencil over a PDA anyday. :tongue_smilie: Thanks! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I haven't done it for a couple of years, but, yes, it's pretty simple. They give you money for shipping which is beyond what you'll probably pay for the postage. Of course, you have to pay for something to wrap the book in, and for transportation to the post office or printing postage online, etc., so some of the extra goes to that. Anyway, that might make up for some of the fees they charge. If I can do it, pretty much anyone can. I don't even own an electric can opener, that's how Luddite I am.

Jennifer in MI Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I do!! It's really easy and they just dump the money into my bank account at the end of the month. You can sell things other than books too. I've sold stuff we had just lying around the house gathering dust. It's been worth it for us.

theodwyn Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I do. I have quite a few listed right now. Even with the fees I've made some pretty good money. And you are right, it is easy! Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I've sold one book -- a hefty one that sold for $40 -- a Janice VanCleave lab compilation book. It was easy! I like the fact that I didn't have to relist right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Mom Kenobi Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It's really very easy and if the books are a bit pricy to begin with or rare, it can be worth the time listing, packaging and mailing them. I live very close to my post office, so it was quite convenient for me. I went through our bookshelves one summer and sold several books that were important once but were no longer or were bought on impulse and never read. I've unloaded kids books that were good but not great and books we were given as gifts but didn't really have any interest in reading. (My MIL seems determined, despite a gentle conversation about it, to make me like one of her favorite authors.) Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have sold a few things there and it's really easy. Thery do charge fees, but I think it's less than ebay. I have had the best luck selling DH's college textbooks on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
