Quick question, saw this book for sale at £1.99 in PO today & took a note of the ISBN number. It's a paperback but quite thick, possibly be about £1.50 to post I would think. Do you think it would be worth buying to sell on or not?

I've just has a quick look, if you sell at the price it's at you'll get about 50 profit, so not really worth the bother, if it went down in price then it would be even worse!

Wasn't really looking to sell on but when I saw the dreams one while waiting to post eBay items I thought I'd see what it would sell for. Thanks for your comments.

Although i've not posted here for a while I still sell on Amazon (no more books!!!)... can I be number 5?!

Thanks AT

I wouldn't have been here without your help I now sell electronics which can yield better profits but as you would expect the outgoings and risk are much greater!

I have to do a lot much research in what will and won't sell rather than my previous bull in a chine shop method of buying books!

Sold my second Green Metropolis book today. Only thing was it had been listed on there so long I couldn't find it! :rolleyes:

I was convinced I must have swapped it already or sold it on Amazon but finally found it and posted it on its merry way.

Having a rought time at the moment - no sales and a buyer from the Listbooks site who says she hasn't recevied her book and has left neg feedback, but has clicked the box which says she has received the book!!!

I think what has annoyed me more than anything is that she hasn't contacted me directly at all, but has gone through the administrator - who runs the site in his spare time of course!

The book only went for £1.48, but I wonder if she's trying to pull a fast one. The really annoying thing is that as a seller it is far simpler to give a refund and keep the peace than fight your corner sometimes!

I'm wating for a reply back regarding the fact that she has clicked her book received button - shan't hold my breath!

Angela you pipped me to number 3 so I shall wait and choose another one in due course!! - Great idea AT (number 3 was my hockey club shirt number!)
