About buying and selling used books and stuff online. Plus my adventures and random thoughts. Monday, January 08, 2007. Did not sell. Looks like I priced it too high. I suppose I thought someone else who had read it would want a collectable copy. And a number of other books I offered at Christmas didn't sell. Oh, well . I guess I'll reduce the price and see if we get any takers. Posted by Jane @ 5:26 PM. Links to this post. Guide to Shopping for Used Books Online. Shawnee, Kansas, United States. I'm a Ka...

Well, the lady who didn't like "At All Costs" is returning the book. She sent me a very lovely message saying she was pleased with my service. I didn't really want that book back. Now I feel I owe her money to pay her shipping costs. I'll try to figure that out once the book gets here, after my vacation. Posted by Jane @ 7:32 PM. Links to this post.

About buying and selling used books and stuff online. Plus my adventures and random thoughts. Friday, November 24, 2006. The beautiful Folio society edition of Darkness at Noon, Arthur Koestler’s examination of the mechanics of the Stalinist purges of the 1930’s is now up for auction on e-bay. The Folio Society produces collectible quality illustrated volumes at reasonable prices. My experience as a re-seller shows these books tend to keep their value pretty well. Condition: Very fine (see below). The bo...

About buying and selling used books and stuff online. Plus my adventures and random thoughts. Thursday, August 17, 2006. Re-selling paperback novels for 75 cents, the price of 98% of my offerings, just barely allows me to break even. The stiff competition, with jillions of cheap books offered by every idle Mom with a keyboard and a broadband connection, is killing me. So, to beat the competition, I gotta be smarter and faster. But what about books without barcodes? Posted by Jane @ 3:24 PM. I offer many ...

About buying and selling used books and stuff online. Plus my adventures and random thoughts. Friday, February 08, 2008. Part of my "work" requires me to look at and appraise thousands of books offered up for sale at thrift shops, church sales, estate sales and other venues. I imagine it's like panning for gold, only with books. Sound dull? The rest of my family thinks it is, but it does not really feel like "work" to me. Robin Smiley, editor of. I wonder that, myself. Illustrated by the author. Interest...

I must be the only person in the world who hates making mistakes. For the second time in a month, I'm having to refund money. I realized there's no way I could re-ship items I mailed to the wrong person in time to reach the right person. So, another expensive mistake. Oh well, live and learn. Posted by Jane @ 6:43 PM.

About buying and selling used books and stuff online. Plus my adventures and random thoughts. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Ebay fees too high. Last week I got hit with $83.00 e-bay sales fees. I did sell Darkness at Noon, Travels With My Aunt,. And a few other books. Didn't sell my collectible poetry book, or my hundred year old copy of an opera libretto. I have to re-think my ebay strategy. At least my Amazon and Half shops are doing well. Posted by Jane @ 7:15 PM. Links to this post. Ebay fees too high.
