Amazon Marketplace, Wooh Yeah!

November 17th, 2008 Categories: Uncategorized

Ok, so this morning I got all the unwanted books I have, all those programming books that you’ve read, all those non-fiction titles, all the fictions ones too in fact.  So I got in total around 60 books and went through adding them onto Amazon, and I found some interesting things out.

Firstly fiction titles sell for next to nothing on Amazon marketplace, we’re talking £0.01 plus P&P;, big loser because if your packaging is more than the £2.75 Amazon gives you then you make a loss.
Non-fiction titles = great, they resell really well, usually around 80% of the list price.
So in the end after deciding which ones might be too expensive and which ones would be ok I ended up with a total of 47 books on Amazon.  Then I had lunch.  Then I went and signed up with the gym.  I come check my emails around 5 hours after finishing uploading my books and I’ve already sold a book!!!  It happens to be one of my old university books.  £9.97!  Again it doesn’t count towards Inventive Millionaire, because I didn’t get the book for free.
Now I just have to send the damned thing…
