Snowflake Idea: Selling My Used Books

Today is Internet Sunday chez moi, and I’ve spent most of the day doing things online. Everything from working on my freelance website to listing used books I have for sale on Amazon.ca. This last one is a new idea I had just this week. I was originally going to bring the books to a used bookstore, but I was lazy and didn’t want to bring the box down to the car. So instead today I remembered that I can list things on Amazon.ca as well, so I just spent the last 40 minutes and listed about 15 items on there. A few of them are books from my university career that I no longer want, the rest are just books I’ve accumulated along the way. Again, they’re all books that I don’t want any more. The books currently in my library are ones that I want to keep, but not this box. I’m excited at the prospect of selling them, although I do realize that most of them will probably not sell at all. But I figure I’ll keep them up for 4-6 months, and if they don’t sell by then, I’ll make the trip to the used book store.

Have any of you had any success selling used books on Amazon?
