Don't know whether it's worth keeping them listed on there and listing them on Amazon as well? Has anyone got any tips for how to sell books on the site?

Thank you everyone, Amazon looks the best bet I think judging by your responses! I have quite a few uni text books as my brother has finished uni now, and they are in new condition as my brother didn't really use them lol!!!
Thanks again for everyones help, and Raquela I will have a look and get in touch if I need advice, thank you!

The most popular sites Amazon and ebay..
U can also try some other site. Like -
abebooks[DOT]com and buyselloldbooks [DOT]com - these sites r also very good . I hope it will help u a lot. Thanks..0 -
I have listed 48 books on Green Metropolis and so far sold 3 in just over a week. It's not very speedy as others have said but I have discovered a couple of things:
1. A lot of people add on extra for postage - if you dont you will usually get a sale i.e. for a bestseller, over them, however less profit (only £1 usually).
2. Bestsellers go less well than rarer books - looks for the ones which arent on the site yet - a lot of people have them on their wishlists and they'll get am email when it's added. As said above you can get a bestseller cheaper in Tesco.
I think that's my maximum tippage for this evening. I'll be chugging away trying to sell mine so will update if I do.Mint £5,624 [STRIKE]£5,700[/STRIKE] Capital One £338.26 [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE] Next £390 [STRIKE] £460[/STRIKE] Overdraft [STRIKE]£1400[/STRIKE] £900£2 Coins '09 £142 £2 Coins £4 '10
