newbie Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Has anyone sold their old books to BN, do you get a good price and is it easy? If not where is best place to sell used books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've not sold to BN - didn't know they'd buy them - but I do list things on Amazon Marketplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You can set up to sell books through them as a "vendor." They take a percentage of what you list them for when they sell. IMHO you're better off selling on Amazon though through their Marketplace program. They get much more traffic, and their seller tools are better IMHO. I've sold through half.com and BN, and frankly Amazon is the best for me for books. More homeschool-oriented things (i.e. teacher guides, etc.), move on http://www.homeschoolclassifieds.com, although I do list a few books in both places.

newbie Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Do you ship them to Amazon, or you wait for a buyer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You are notified by Amazon when someone has purchased your item. Then, you print off the mailing label and ship it to them directly. ETA: All payment is handled directly through Amazon, and they push funds to your checking account once or twice a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 That sounds easy, now I have to put on my "to do " list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PariSarah Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The one thing to be careful of: amazon's fees are VERY high. You still end up ahead of what you could get elsewhere, probably. Just keep their fees in mind when you're pricing your items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
