Amazon is pretty good like that. When you put the details in it gives you a guide price. That is what I am using. I have made about £60 this week so far. Some of the books OH wanted to throw are worth £10+, other books are as much as £40. If a book isn't listed I google it and that has helped too.

Main problem is storage - going to B&Q tomorrow to see what cheap shelf units they have!

Massive :T to WoA for a great newsletter - really well done! And thank you to Spendaholic Chick for braving the feature AND including a photo!!!

I'm on holiday for a week so nothing will happen at Freebird Towers, but will keep my fingers crossed for everyone else. I'll pop in to see how you're all doing.

I bought several lots at the auction. The ones I really went for were Catholic and Christian books which were in immaculate condition. Some of the books were still wrapped. I paid £10-12 for each box, and they should return £400+ per box over time. Some old books have come in at about £10 - I will have to see if they sell.

The book that sold for £30 I picked up for a few quid somewhere. It was about Coastal Environments so was quite a specific reference book that I was lucky to get a buyer for - with that one I was amazed that Amazon's had another seller at £30. One of the Catholic prayer books had a buyer waiting - willing to pay £23 so I listed at £23 and it sold within the hour.

We play a game while I am listing on Amazon. I pick up an unlikely looking book and say to OH - "how much would you pay?" and he normally says 50p - £2 max - and then I tell him £10+. Makes me smile anyway:rotfl:
