selling your stuff on Amazon - part 5

Sunnydoo

Sorry to bother you experts again but has anyone had success with selling CDs?

Have listed a load on Amazon-rather obscure heavy metal/punk ones.Not expecting to make a fortune but would like a couple or quid or so for them

Only listed them yesterday & today but have around 200 in total & wondered if anyone could tell me what the chances of some selling are-i'm happy to post to Europe & the US

Thanks

Well I got my Viking Direct delivery and have to hope to sell books quickly to get space back! I ordered yesterday so am really impressed with the speed. BUT yesterday the offer was 3 boxes of Mail Lite and a free MP3 player - I don't have the MP3 player. Do they send these seperately or do I need to phone up (when my children give me some peace!)?

They usually send the free gifts with the delivery - it may have been left on the van, they are such a friendly bunch just give them a call.

I once had a delivery of envelopes where the peel off tape was stuck on the wrong way round so that I couldn't pull it off and had to stick all the envelopes with parcel tape. They sent me a replacement box and told me to keep the others.

Just saw this on the Amazon discussion board "I ordered yesterday from Viking but their offer over the phone of three boxes for the price of two outweighed one free MP3 player for 21 boxes!"

Are you sure they didn't give you the 3 for 2 offer instead? Just a thought.

I've just started selling on Amazon. I'm carefully checking item descriptions , but every so often I come across a book with the exact details, but the ISBN is different, and therefore I can't list it . This has happened about 5 times now, with books that were published pre 1980.
Can anybody explain to me why there are different ISBN numbers for books published by the same publisher in the same year.
Thanks to everyone who posts here. It's v. useful to an amazon virgin (never thought I'd call myself that)

Just found a signed copy of a 1974 children's book, but this time I've found the book by ISBN, but it's a different publisher. As there's only one unsigned for sale for £75, I'd love to get this one listed!!!
Has anybody else had this problem?

Whats the best deal with Viking?? Do they do a mixed box??

I have a friend who has 50 odd educational non fiction books for sale(left over from university) they are all in excellent condition. I have been selling them for her at University but it's slow going. She says she hasn't the time to put them on e-bay or amazon. Now if I offer to buy them from her I would (based on amazon current prices) double what I pay for them once they are all sold. Do I go for it? I could still keep the list up at Uni and possibly get some sales there too?
It would mean putting the bill on a CC (0%)
What do I do?? What would you do??

I've sold a couple of CD's usually about £2-£3 after fees & postage - HTH.

Got another pending sale, will see if they pay now! Quick question, do you class Saturday as a working day? I state on my Amazon items I dispatch within 24 working hours but if this payment comes later today I won't be able to post til Monday as I'm at a wedding tomorrow - do you think this will be ok?

I'm sure it will be fine. Enjoy the wedding and look forward to lots of sales when you get back!!!
