      I inherited about 40-60 boxes when my friend committed suicide a few years back....I figured I'd help her family by selling her books as she ran a book business and they didn't know what to do with them.
      Well, now I've sold a few, but need to get back in the umph....as I barely have 20 books posted...and I need at least 200...

    I love books! I order low cost used books on ebay all the time. I can't express the elation when I actually find an old book that's not available digitally on eBay! I use these books for research. I would love to start selling used books, but Amazon is the devil. Thank you for this video!

    You are 100% correct about Amazon fees. You can make more $$ from Ebay than Amazon for used items. You have to do more work, but it's worth it.

    Thanks. Real quick I just wanted to let you know, you dont have to go to the post office. I started selling stuff on Facebook and now have moved on to Ebay.. and shipping was always my issue. Use pirateship and you can print labels from your house and even schedule the post office to come pick them up from your house. That will save you alot of time!

    Sometimes I see people sell individual books on ebay for $3.50 with free shipping and it blows my mind. You're paying $2.89 for media mail. After fees and everything, you'd end up losing $.26. I'm so confused.

    I should do this as I can source books for free or almost free. The bargain barn at the town dump always has a couple hundred books on the shelves and a local thrift store sells books for $1 for a bag full. Most garage sales have a lot of books, too. I haven't done it because I didn't know how to look up prices.

    I feel better already. You got me, I subscribed. I kept waiting for a seagull photo bomb or one of those pelicans... Question. Is it better to get USPS boxes/envelopes Or to stockpile boxes from your shipments you have received. I have been collecting shipping boxes and packing material forEVER. Now I have officially reached hoarder level of stuff. Also, do you ever use 'Media' shipping option? It looks cheaper than just small envelope rate. thank you for posting!

    I have been selling stuff from around my house on eBay. I’ve gotten to the books and I don’t think they are worth listing. I look on eBay and people are selling them for $3.99 with free shipping. I think I’m better off giving them away. 😂 our town has one of those little free libraries were you put in a book in and take a book. I will scan them all and make sure they are not worth anything first.
