The first book I listed was a cheap little paperback, so I couldn't list it for much more than I did, really. I have a few more I'm sure will be more profitable. Gotcha–thanks for clearing that up.

I just got my first check from Amazon, so the approximate numbers work out like this: ($700 total - $100 postage)/35 books = $17 per book. SMB, actually I said $2.50 was the *least* I’d list for.

I was a little shocked at how much Amazon charged—2.71 for a book I listed for 3.25. With the shipping allowance, I cleared 2.44. I’m a little disappointed, actually. You said that you usually list your items for 2.50, so I’m wondering what you’ve been clearing on average per book. Overall, it sounds like it’s working out for you, though.

I've never used the site, so I didn't think of it. John, I’ll take a look at Half. I’ve never used the site, so I didn’t think of it.

I'd need to do a bit of research. It is just that listing them is more effort. Amazon is three-clicks and a sentence. Even with a good helper program, eBay is a lot more fiddling around. I do have several books worth $100-500, so possibly I should look into eBay. Thanks for the reminder. I don’t know, I think I might want to sell books on eBay if they were over $100 or so.

I went through this about a year back when I started to sell my old books, cds and DVDS. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it, but I also recommend half.com, they're somewhat similar. They have lower selling fees and you may be able to get a better price. The only trade off is site traffic, it's not as popular as Amazon. Half also let's you list as long as you like. Good luck!

I too have a ton of books that I want to sell/dispose but am torn between choosing eBay over Amazon. Have you done any analysis on where it might be more profitable? BTW, great website. I am adding you to the list that I scan everyday. Dear Bruce, Nice article. I too have a ton of books that I want to sell/dispose but am torn between choosing eBay over Amazon.

It maybe that you have better products (actually this is probably exactly why), or that Amazon gets more traffic, maybe I will test it.
