Morning,
Long story short I have about 10-15,000 Paperbacks that I picked up in a deal 12-15 years ago, been carting them around through 3 moves. The wife and I agreed that I was to Sell them recently, but I have balked at dumping them for nothing or going to Used Book Store for Credit, I already have hundreds of books waiting to read, don't need more.
Started liting them in my Store about 6 weeks ago just before E-bay changed the Store thing. Had 200 listed and had sold about 30-40. Things were starting out good, but now don't want to pay.05 cents per month for thousands of books to sit in my store.
So did a little checking and the Half.com thing seems to be a pretty good venue. Nothing to list, 15% cut to them when one sells, and the Media mail charge that they mandate actually covers my cost of shipping, they charge $3.49 each and my costs are at $2.28-$2.38 plus .19 cents for the mailer. It's actually easy to list because you don't have to scan anything, just type in the ISBN number and then put condition, price, done.
So has anybody done/used this? Does it worK?

free listing, you only pay a fee when the book sells.
Highly recommended.
Anyone know where to find a job? ohio has none.
