Gotta Love Amazon.com

OK, so usually I end up throwing all my read and used books into the bin at Good Will or giving them away at a yard sale. I tried something new last night, since I and my brother have been buying used books at amazon.com lately. I listed about 18 books for sale trying to price them as the lowest in the category they fit (new, used-good, etc.) to compete with the other people selling. Some of these books I have had for several years and never touched. For Example: Arabic Verbs & Essential Grammar. I wasn't sure if it would sell, but sure enough it did. So far in the 12 hours or so since I listed my books, I have sold 3 for a grand total of $22.60. That isn't bad considering I get so much for postage. All I have to do is put them in an envelope and take them to the post office. I am well on my way to paying for my weekend DVD purchases with this new book gig. Not to shabby considering the alternative of nothing at Good Will, since I never ask for a receipt for tax purposes. In fact you all know me, I usually dump things in the bin late at night when the place is closed. There were a few books that it wouldn't have been worth my while to sell due to the low prices on amazon (competition) and postage, so if anyone is interested in San Francisco, by Thomas Cook or The Complete Idiot's Guide to San Francisco & The Wine Country, or The United States of Europe, just let me know.
