Bought one in a charity shop after reading this but it took a few weeks to sell tho' I was 'low price' - reduced it again by 25p today and it sold this evening, got £4.09 after fees. Were the above copies the original one or book 2?

The one I sold was the original Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Graphic novels are always good sellers (ie comics with isbns), I have picked up many Star Wars, Sin City and Manga books from charity shops for big profit (a couple of the Star Wars ones sold for about £20).

My best ever though was a graphic novel called Arzach Moebius which a friend gave me years ago, it was French I think, it was listed on Amazon for £100-£150 and I sold for £120 to a guy in Denmark - and it was such a tiny thing! I was chuffed with that!

Sold the Hoppin' 'n' Poppin' Popcorn Cookbook by Gina Steer for £8.50 the other day. I think it has been listed for over a year, but finally someone decided they needed it!!! Only one other one listed, so might be worth looking out for!!
