    Hi tee pee, number 58 is yours.

    AT, my local charity shops sell paperbacks that are more expensive than they are in Tesco. I picked up an old paperback a few days ago that I wanted for myself and it was £2.50! Hardbacks are often the same second hand as they were new.

    tee pee welcome to the Wonderful world of Amazon! You'll soon be hooked! Like you my local charity shops are uber expensive so I look for church fetes and junk stalls on the market, plus the odd auction and library discards.

    Congratulations on 'going International' :T

    The only extra thing you need to do is put a CN22 Label on the envelope, you should be able to pick up a free roll of these from your PO. They are easy to fill in and the PO staff should be able to help anyway.

    Hi Tee Pee

    It is not against Amazon rules to sell ex library books, but make as clear as you possibly can in your description - to avoid negative feedback later.

    I've sold a few ex library books and so far have not had any problems.

    thanks FFM

    just had a look at the cn22 , do i mark it as a gift or other ?

    and would the value be the actual price they paid for the book or the total including p+p ?

    sorry for all the questions

    As it is a book, I would tick 'Other', and write book in the detailed description. I usually put the total amount the buyer has paid as the 'value'.

    Happy to be corrected on any of these points, if anyone else does otherwise.
