righto - Im now going to clear out my 1p pile of books thats left after the first rush on risi and amazon, - i really really need the space back

still selling the odd thing here and there on amazon but its definately slowed down as has risi - tho im sure thats partly because no one wants the books ive got left on it :rotfl:

How would you price a book if there weren't any on there?

I had that problem last week. But when I clicked on the 'Order it Used' - the price came up so I multiplied it by 20 :eek: (But the suggested price was 0.35p so I don't feel too bad about it )

Reading back it seems I wasn't the only one that didn't sell many books in February then? But I sold some good priced ones if nothing else

I have rarely sold more than 3 books a week ever, but I sell high price books so I still seem to get a fair bit from Amazon each time they pay out.

February wasn't my best month but today I sold 4 high priced books so March may be back to normal I hope

Hi Soo

I got a bit too used to selling 3 a day I think My record was 7 I think, but no massive profit - tidy sum all the same.

I had a buyer this week that backtracked as soon as I'd bubble-wrapped it and popped it into a Jiffy ... but I could see his point of view. It was only 50p or so, but I was left with one half-useless Jiffy bag.

On a brighter note, when I went to relist it I realised the others were selling for a couple of pounds more, so I upped the price

I've only got a few high-priced left now ... so might have a clear out - again!

Btw, I noticed you'd posted about GM. One of the first books I ever listed (over a year ago) sold last week, it really came out of the blue but then again, I still list more on there than Amazon.

Way to go apprentice

It felt good selling a book on the first day of the month

I think I just test listed about 10 books on GM but haven't bothered to list any more. I'll see how they go first.

I have a load of books to go onto ebay tomorrow as well on the cheap listing day as I need to clear some room ready for the next batch.

It might be because they rotate the books instead of putting the new ones up first Soo, so if there's more than one, you're in a queue.

And seeing as I'll never get my head around eBay I might try selling a few in bundles by the same author, or same style etc, through the local paper.

Good luck anyway ...

Ebay is easy if you are selling 'popular' books as you can see instantly how much the same book sold for, and how much post and packing the previous seller charged. I always check all that before listing and if a book doesn't sell I don't waste my listing fees.

Tomorrow a basic listing for items with a start price of 99p or less will only cost 7p, so I thought it worth a bit of a punt on some of the cheaper books that I wouldn't normally bother listing on Amazon. I'm also listing some heavy books at 99p with the £4 post and packing (or whatever) the book will actually cost to send.
