I will put it in the post tomorrow for you seabiscuit

Sold book for £22.50, sent and now buyer emails to say that as new current edition from Amazon is only £25,and this book is used (as listed in the advert) can I "reply ASAP to say how you intend to rectify this", what planet is this guy from. If he wanted it new he could have bought direct from Amazon!!!

HGLT- Amazons price would have been listed as well as yours so it looks like he's trying to back out. Either that or he's trying to get you to drop your price. What does he expect you to do?!?

I've checked my open sales tonight and noticed they all had icon at side saying lowest price. Happened to click on a few and noticed that I'm not the lowest price, some are a lot lower than mine.Wonder why it's telling me that I am. Good job I checked. No wonder my sales have slowed down.

After nearly 2 weeks without a sale I've just sold a book I had listed for £15 :j - only cost £5 from a cheap booksale about 10 years ago :money: even with postage I'm going to get about £11 (quite a heavy book) so pleased with that and another thing cleared out - I love the unpredictability - I was feeling fed up earlier and suddenly the email popped up :j - need to get it packaged and queue at the post office at lunch tomorrow now but as it's been a slow month I'm happy. Both my trial lots on ebay have a bidder too so hopefully I'll boost up my selling stuff fund a bit these things.

Thanks for all the tips and motivation - love reading it all each day :T

Judith, this could be because their books are not in the same condition category as yours.
HGLT, you might get poor feedback but I'd hold out, he made an error not you.

Yorkielass, these sales creep up on you when you're not expecting them, I really like it when something sells after over 2 or 3 years of being listed.

How strange carol, I have not had that book!!!!!!! The one I have is Milk Glass Moon...methinks I'd better check if I've put the ISBN in right!!!

Don't worry, it's probably me, my kids accuse me of cracking up!! I may just have been browsing the Adriana Trigiani books, saw your Milk Glass moon, looked at another one and got confused...it doesn't take much!!

It was Big Cherry Holler, I've got the other two and really like her books. I have already read it from the library so don't need it desperately, it would just be nice to complete the set some day, thanks. All my 1p books are ancient, old Catherine Cookson, Victoria Holt, Susan Howatch type novels that I loved in the 70s...giving away my age now!

Carol_a - I've got this book and was going to list on the swapit website when got round to listing stuff (just got to sort out OH's VAT return first - deep joy!!) Happy to post it to you if you like? I have the whole set, plus Lucia Lucia (which I haven't read yet). Send me your address and I will post it out to you if you want?

Thank you that's brilliant. I've already got Lucia Lucia, it's great. I don't know if you've got anything you want me to send you in return...what sort of things do you like to read or are you just swapping to sell on? Don't want to get in trouble on this thread for anything..;-)

well i think my postman and local post office hate me - the postie always has a few parcels for me and althought chatty, he looks a bit p'ed off, as for the post office - the queues i have had behind me - oops and ive got more today - DOH

my postie used to whinge quite a bit about all the mail i get then one day i jokingly told him 'well, as long as i'm around you can be certain you'll be kept in work'

he's never grumbled again :rotfl:

the post office i normally use are quite friendly and are very happy to have my parcels. i do my best to support them which they have thanked me for, in fact since the eejit child benefit people couldn't manage to get it right for 3 YEARS to arrange for me to get the payment card so i can get my child benefit from any post office i have resisted their attempts to get money put in my bank account and they have to send me a cheque every week which i promptly cash at the post office :rotfl:

I bought my post office lady a bottle of wine for Christmas. She is always so sunny and polite despite a sometimes very difficult job. At Christmas the queue was out the door of the shop as there was only her on the counter sometimes.

I would have run out screaming!:) Also people were moaning at her about the queue!!
