Like many people of a certain age, I have accumulated a lot of books, music, etc. in my home, and enough has become too much. Now that grad school is over, I decided to explore the idea of selling my school books on Amazon. I had noticed that when I was looking for some of my texts, the only way I could get them was buying them second-hand, so I knew there was
some market out there.
So this morning, I stacked the texts up on my desk, and transcribed the ISBN codes into my Caliber database. Doing this made the whole group easy to manage, since when I entered them, the lookup brought back pictures and other information about each one. Later on, I cut/pasted each ISBN into
Amazon.com's Selling program page, where it too brought up what Amazon knows of the books. This part was really useful, since I was able to reference the page and see what others were charging for their copies of the books, respective of the condition of each.
After completing my list, I shut down my browser and went out to see a friend. When I came back later tonight, I was notified I'd already sold one of my accounting books to someone in Washington State. Yay,
Amazon! One down and fifteen more to go.... I could get to like this.
If any of my friends wants to learn more about this,
write me a private PlusPost and I'll tell you how.
Cheers!
