Looks like you are off to a good start. After reading your blog - here are a couple of comments. 1. Be careful rejecting the large heavy coffee table books. Some of them are quite valuable. Even if you lose a couple of bucks on shipping you can make some good money. Now that you have your cell phone tool you can check those prices too. 2. Try books both on eBay and Amazon. For some reason books from a really narrow niche sell pretty well on eBay. I don't always get a higher price on eBay but I often get a faster sale. Remember the lesson on turning your inventory over faster for profits. The other category that sells well on eBay are "how to" books of almost any topic. 3. Take a look at listing your books on eBay in the new Fixed Price format. eBay is having a fee sale from now through the end of the year in that format. I have listed a few books that way and they turned over pretty fast. So good luck - I will be watching to see how you do. Skip McGrath Hi Sally:

These sites may not pay as much as Amazon, but they are a sure-sale, meaning that you don't have to place it on the marketplace and wait for it to sell.

I have a suggestion for you. Buy the $5.00 per month ISBN service for use on your cell phone. This will be the best money you have ever spent!!! I was purchasing books without it, and found out that I was not optimizing my investment. I purchased the service and it totally eliminated my guess's for what I "THINK" will sell. Skip's methods are sound and I have really started to take off with my Amazon book sales. Sally,
