selling your stuff on Amazon...part four...

ozmoneysaver

Hey there guys - loving reading all your amazon experiences!

It saved my life when I first got here (moved from oz a little while back). I was living on my sister's floor and was waiting a few weeks to see if a job came through. With my sales from amazon (books and dvds picked up on the cheap at clearance) I was just managing to scrape by but then two things happened:

1. My cluey sister suggested doing a drive by university colleges nearby the weekend before semester wrapped. The bargain textbooks had me eating out for the first time since I got here ;-)

2. I got my act together with clicks-for-cash and now I scrape up around 25-30 extra quid a week while I check how my amazon stuff is going (takes 20min - pm me for my guide on it if you like). This has come in particularly handy as my amazon sales have dropped off a little of late.

Anyway, cheers. I'm thrilled with it so far because the prices on ebay for books in oz were dire and there's no such thing as amazon.com.au!

Hello ozzy (can I shorten it?) nice to hear that cast off uni books treated you to a meal out!
I've never got into the clicks for cash stuff, I've tried but I got so bored but you are making a lot of dosh out of it so it's serving you very well

Hey there apprentice!

Shorten away!

Clicks for cash stuff isn't for everyone. It took me a good few weeks to make it worthwhile sorting through all the crap ones and minimising the time spent. Got it down to a fine art. And there's nothing better than checking up on Amazon sales knowing you've got a good thing going in another window!

BTW we've been talking about what the best individual sale was that anyone made, but how about the biggest one week/month haul of cash?

Me: Week: 268 Month: 370. Massive! My Uni texts paying off, mostly!

Ignore the question if you guys have covered it - just a newbie getting all excited to have met like-minded amazonians!

ozzy - it looks like you've stunned us all into silence, those are amazing figures!

Have sold four books between yesterday and today. Unfortunately, I am laid up with a really bad cold and haven't managed to post them yet.

I've got my first international sale as well. One book off to the Netherlands.

Woohoo, sold my first book yesterday! Even made some profit on the p&p, so altogether have made a whopping profit of £5.12!

For a book that's been sitting on my shelf and gathering dust since uni, I'm very very happy. Am looking forward to more sales, you guys are right, I am hooked!

And, in the absence of the thanks button, another big thank-you to AT for answering everyone's questions! :A

Not been a bad week for me - continuing to sell a book every 2-3 days.

I've decided to have a big clear out and try to find some fresh stock, so I've made up two boxes of books which have been hanging around for a while, and will take them to the local second hand bookshop tomorrow to offload them. Then I shall hit the car boot sales with a vengeance!

You need to go to your USER CP and then choose edit signature. But you'll need to flick back a few pages to see what numbers we'd got up to. I think it's about 12

As a newbie, can someone advise me as to what sort of books sell well on Amazon.

Thanks
