Selling Books On eBay
Cindy Shebley
One thing that I found was that unless the books are rare, the hottest title, or they are collectible they don't tend to sell for much. Especially if you sell them singularly. However, I've found that if I bundle them up - I can often get more for them. You see, in certain genre readers go through several books a week. That adds up if they buy them one at a time. To that end many readers have found eBay the perfect solution. They go and buy a bundle of books from their favorite author. For example if you are a mystery reader you've probably enjoyed Sue Grafton. She does the alphabet books. Chances are good though you didn't start with A is for Alibi. You may have come in on J or K and now what to get caught up. Off to eBay you go and there waiting for you is a lot of four or five Sue Grafton books all together - from one seller with one shipping price! That's a readers heaven. While you are out book picking look for titles that lend themselves to lots and bundle them up. It doesn't necessarily have to just authors, again it can be genres or sub-genres that you may be able to bundle together. If you bundle them into lots you'll save yourself work, get a little more on average and make a reader happy. I found that the word "lot" in the eBay title helps too. Want more book selling tips? I have just the book for you. A long time supporter and friend Henry Neff has just written and released a book on the topic. (I was the lucky to buy the first copy - and can hardly wait to get it).
