Thanks for the tips. Do I need to look out for any specific large print books or will any do?
Also, other than this great thread advising on books that sell well is there a feature on Amazon where you can view books sold so that you can guage the popularity etc?
I'm still a newbie to selling on Amazon and have sold a few of my old books and CD's but am still finding my way around the site.

At 10p each, you should be able to sell anything for a profit. Do just be careful, as they're obviously larger books and some are therefore very heavy.

Library books for 10p :j - my library sells it's cast off hardbacks for £1.50 :eek:

Okay I took another trip to the library and bought 4 books for a total of 40p and have listed them so fingers crossed they sell. One of them is called Practical Cheesemaking and there are a few copies starting from £4.50+. I'll let you all know when I make my first bit of profit!!

Hey Matt what was it????

Margaret Rutherfords Autobiography.
People are asking anything between £58 and £300 for this book. A lady asked me what my best price was, and so I did a private deal.
Very nice lady so I was happy to drop my price a bit. Especially as I got it in a lot of 1500 books for which I paid £100 delivered.
I am sad today though as I haven't sold a book in 2 days!!!
I am sure it will pick up soon, fingers crossed. 14 this week so I am not complaining too much!

Big sellers on the Amazon sellers forum are saying that Amazon has been down for many users and book purchases can't be completed. Some sellers who reckon they sell several a day on average report no sales since last Wednesday, so there may be a technical problem.
