Donna - If you go to "your seller account" then click on "Your marketplace open listings" you will get the list of everything you have on Amazon. The 3rd column (labeled "listing ID) is a direct link to your item. You can email them this link.

Ooh I'm at 500 posts now!

Hi Annie! Nice to hear from you, hope your course is going well? As you can in my signature I have knocked £10k off my debts since November, so I am happy with how it going thanks.

£100 a month with no new listings is very good, well done!

p.s just to be nosey, what did you win in the compeitions? You are doing well in that challenge.

Hiya Kat
Congrats on your signature - you are doing so well.
I won some books and also one of the new Vista thingys which I sold on Amazon as we don't need it.
I was (until I got snowed under with UNI stuff - which is going well , thanks) doing all the comps on the comps thread and it was from those that I won the prizes. I must get back into it but time escapes me at the mo.
Take care
Annie

Just a quick line to say I hope the wet and miserable bank holiday brought people lots of sales. I had the grand total of...0!

I think the selling fairy has been frightened off here by living in the coldest place in Britain on Monday! Colder than Siberia according to the radio.

Sales trickling along very slow - wasnt sure I was going to cover pro fees this month but some oldies gone which is nice.

We *might* have a buyer for our house so have been wondering whether to move the 1000 or so I have listed to the new place ( about 150 miles away) or to try and sell the lot as a job lot with a copy of the listings to make things easy for someone to start up. Has anyone any experience of this type of transaction?

Hi Boston

there have been occasions on the Amazon Discussion board where sellers have decided to sell up and have put their email address for interested parties to contact them. They offer their open listings report as well as the books to make the integration into the existing business easier and it allows the buyer to evaluate the 'business'.

I have no idea about how much or how successful this is, but does seem to be a good place to advertise. Amazon don't seem to mind as far as I can tell.

Hurrah! I don't have much stuff on amazon, but after a week or so of nothing selling I just got an email telling me a CD single has sold, for £7! Wahoo!

Those emails from amazon are weird when they start 'your amazon sale has been confirmed...', as if they have been pondering it before deciding to buy!

Hi Gingababe

Bookfinder tells you where the other copies are listed, if it is abe.com or alibris.co.uk for instance you could list on there - but there might be listing fees involved.

Have you tried a completed items search on Ebay?

If you carefully study high priced books on Ebay and see how they are listed you might be able to attract a buyer on there - but could be a bit chancey, you might not get what you hope for. If you are a pro-seller you can create your own listings on Amazon.

If you have alot of these books it might be worth your while going pro for a month - create your new listings and then cancel your subscription before the month runs out - hopefully the listings will remain??? (Rupert - do you know if this would be the case??)

Just a few thoughts
