    Yep classic one there :)

    Amazon is dead dead easy Tilly, put in the barcode it comes up with the item on the side it asks if you have one to sell ... Follow the link, pick your price and voila done ... I think they advertise it for 3 months, then you can relist ... I've found academic books sell really well, and I'm getting good money for them, paid £5 for one of the books Ive just sold for £12 so can't complain there, although in fairness this is rarely the case and more often I am selling them for less than I bought ... But I have had the pleasure of reading them as well :)
  • Hi El, I will investigate Am@zon as Mr T did so many courses with the OU and we have loads of study books.
