Sure! Can you email it to me though. I don't think I can wait for snail mail.

It took a little while, but it sold just before Xmas. The truly rare I will post on ebay first or price accordingly on amazon. It may take a while, but so far, I can't complain. I've also weeded down the DVDs, but on those I priced them to sell, I did not make a profit, but in this economy, every extra $5 helps. I think if you are selling on amazon, it pays to scan the cover (if there is not one), check for multiple listings on the same book/DVD and if it's collectible, make sure you mark it as such. A good desciption is also helpful.

That's just my .02, but like the tortoise, slow and steady has been working for me.

Thanks Snowflake. That's kind of you to help. My mom was the book seller on Amazon. But there got to be so much competition that her sales went from thousands a month to hundreds. Then as ebay picked up books would just sit there and she might sell just a few a month for $5-10. Not much of a living when that was your only income. Now she has a job where I work.

I sell a lot on ebay, and the picture and description are very important. As is your feedback. I think someone would rather pay $5 for something to someone with 100% possitive feedback rather than one cent to some power seller with 437 negitives in one month. I know I do.....

That would be neat! And we would even repay you for your trouble.

[Moonliner]

Cool. I'll pick up a bunch of buttons or whatever....

Perhaps for all you SoCal regulars I can pack up one box and solicit a volunteer to ship it to.

[Not Afraid]

yes please!

[cirquelover]

That would be great of you Moonie!
