boston_uk

Today I finally got to the £5K profit target!!! Slow sales at the moment but still something to celebrate!!!!!

Cake all round and a BIG piece for the SF



Thanks folks for all the help and advice for getting me to here before I need to stop selling!

2nd class here too! Do try and and get them out PDQ though. Unless on some very rare occasion :rolleyes: I sell an expensive book I might send first class but that's only to not look tight not becuase I feel I have too. I also understood this was perfectly acceptable.

I just got 4* feedback from a buyer who said 'fairly quick to send',,grr, bought late one fternoon and posted first thing next day. Oh well, it's still a positive I suppose.

Hi All
I wanted some advice from you really. I have been selling my books on Amazon for over a year now and have had a good turnover. However I have now come to the end of my studies and will be soon starting a new job which is going to take up most of my valuable time. I have pretty much decided to try and sell my remaining books (about 1300). Where do I start? Has anyone had any luck selling bulk lots of books? What am I likely to get?
Sound advice would be appreciated here please. I feel a little reluctant because I am getting rid of an income but needs must and I will soon be earning a decent wage so I must think positive - I feel like I am selling off a good friend!!!!!

Why not get a student in your original circumstances (needing the money),to sell them for you on a 50/50 basis ?

annie ive sold a few joblots on ebay, getting around £30 for around 500 books, which to be fair were my left overs and some were un-saleable on amazon.

Put on your amazon prices will help so buyers can see they have potential value,

Or if you are near Norfolk sell them all to me

I sell toys on Amazon but don't have a pro subscription. Am i right in thinking that if I have a pro subscription I can list any item (even those that arn't curently on the system) and add a picture? If I paid for a months subscription and listed new stuff like crazy would the listings stay up even if I cancelled my pro subscription? And would it let me relist my items?

Regards.

Sorry Mishka - a good few miles from Norfolk (unless you have a van that is!)

Well I have done the deed and listed them (290231608451)
Hopefully I will net a few bob!!!
I shall be sad to see them go really as they have been a life saver for my finances - but all good things come to an end eventually.
Thanks for the advice.
