PJ sells books with success.

eBay can be fickle. One item one week will not sell, but the next the same item can go for big bucks.

Just make sure that in the end, it is worth your time and trouble to list, answer silly questions and to take the time to ship the item.

I had someone bring me some bar stools last week that even if they sold for a decent amount, by the time I would have shipped them(packing etc) it wouldn't be worth the time to sell them.

Well, not completely but I've gotten my not sold items down to less than a third of the total items listed. In the past few weeks I've become totally OBSESSED with eBay book selling. Actually the selling is the easiest part. More difficult is getting the right books. 99.5% of the books out there won't sell for more than a couple of dollars. The trick is finding the .5% of the books that will get some decent prices. I spent ALL DAY today looking for books but found only one worth about $50. Sunday I had better luck. I found a LIMITED EDITION (only 1000 copies) of "Jewish Women In America" Encyclopedia. Brand new. Amazon lists it for $250 up so perhaps I'll have some luck.

Anyway, up to a few minutes ago when I came onto the FR, I was totally involved with hunting down books since about 8 AM this morning. Then in the evening I listed some books. Sometimes I feel like the Terminator hunting down Sarah Connor, only in my case it is books. The OBSESSION with those books has taken me over.
