So I have made my way through about half of the 2000 book I bought from the Russian EBay seller a few weeks ago and have been able to list about 280 of them. My estimate is that I'll get about 500 altogether listed. Not so good you say? Well considering that I have been able to list them at an average price of around $12.00 each, the 500 books should eventually bring me in about $6000.00 dollars- a pretty good profit on the $300 dollars or so I spent on them. It is time consuming though (three and a half hours today to list 30 books for example.) Plus, what do I do with the 1500 or so books I can't sell??? Right now they are stacked up in various piles all over the basement.
Other book selling news - I did get Steve Weber's book and have already put some of his suggestions to use - full review coming soon. And some idiot decided to give me fair review as a seller because they didn't read the Amazon description that gave the publication date of the book and would not remove the review even after I gave him a full refund. So sales have been slow despite the many new books listed. Oh well...
