Im an amazon seller too. Make sure if you are sourcing bibles make sure you fan the pages. A friend once found 120.00 between the pages. People hide money in them thinking a crook wouldnt steal a bible. Love your vids!

... God created the world in six days He can also save you from hell and have a personal relationship with him today He can give you his Holy Spirit to guide and teach and comfort you today Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Selling books is a nice break from clothing. Wanted to share with you the sci-fi book score I found that sold for a great profit. Found 20 1960-1970 A.E Van Vogt paperbacks (that looked like they lived every one of those years) for $1.00 at a yard sale and sold them for $25 in less than a day. Also Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty Trilogy sell as soon as I list them, they are some books I don't find in the wild very often.

Nice. I would have a hard time parting with the Van Vogts.

Thank you sooo much for sharing your views and experience on Amazon. I started on Amazon and got so frustrated for many of the reasons you stated and more. I wanted so bad to learn how to be a reseller but Amazon scared me off and lost confidence in being able to do it. Now, the reselling bug is buzzing in my ear again. It was nice to hear your views because I felt like a failure with Amazon. A friend told me ebay and Postmark is a good place to start again with the tons of inventory I have. 4 households in family and they all send their declutter stuff to my house! I think I will revisit the reselling thing. It was nice to hear your tips, views and experiences on your videos!

@chuck3379 2 года назад

I've been selling books for more than a few years now and have never sold on Amazon. I saw too many listings for books I'd previously looked for asking 1 cent! Ridiculous. I also never utilized a scanner until maybe the last 6 months but that's only to check books I think may be valuable. I've been to too many sales where I see zombies scanning tables and tables of books without really even looking at what they're scanning. Maybe it's because I love to read and enjoy looking at interesting titles and cover art. Anyway, that's my two cents if anyone gives a shit. Also, thanks for saying stuff from the 60's isn't "old".

@michellemaxine100 Год назад

I agree with so much of what you said- I am a book lover who started selling some of my books and then sourced them from library sales and garage sales. I had a book, Pew, which I sold and my daughter saw it, sat down, and read it, non-stop, because I needed to send it out. I tried to replace it and saw a copy at a reasonable price listed under " Good," so I contacted the seller but they could only give me the " official " meaning and had no access to the book in their warehouse. Most sellers of books I see when sourcing are scanners without a brain-they would never be able to spot a book on their own, and they care nothing about the books. It's like a puppy mill, but the product is a book.

Thanks for answering the roaring crowd demand for a book video! I came across a bunch of vintage books a few months ago that were too good not to pick up, so I guess I'll join the "Also selling books on eBay" category. A question: do you have any tips for what to use & how to safely clean older books? Or is there a video on your other channel for this? Musty book smell, look & feel is an aphrodisiac to nerds like me, but perhaps some basic cleaning advice that a customer might appreciate... ?

One more question (don't mean to bug you, but I trust your opinion): Is there a good key or guide somewhere for terms relevant to accurately describe used book conditions? I noticed you used "tanning" and "foxing" - and I'd love to learn how to write a a useful, non-generic description, vs. a typical Amazon assaholic cut & paste one.

Joe R. Lansdale is definitely hit and miss. I took my limited edition, numbered, and signed copy of his "A Few Stories More" by Subterranean Press to a local bookshop that buys and sells used books. It was in a box with about 150 other books. They separated it and said, "You want this back?" I said, "Really? A limited edition, numbered, and signed copy." They responded, "Sorry, it's worthless." And I've had a signed copy of his book, The Thicket, on Amazon for sell for about 4 years now, at less than the cover price. No takers. You interested?
