Bookseller

I am a big fan of books. Books are almost impossible for me to resist - I can't go anywhere without one. Due to economic reasons, I recently started frequenting the library a lot more (free is free) so my book buying habit has taken a hit. Which is fine.

I have a ridiculous amount of books sitting around my house that are just taking up space so I made the decision to start selling my unwanted books on Ebay. It was remarkably easy setting myself up as a seller and my first book sold in a few hours. Amazing! I already had a Paypal account so I was pretty much ready to go. When you put something up for sale, Ebay charges a small fee, and then pretty much all you have to do after that is mail your item to the winner of your auction.

I don't know why I didn't think to do this before. There are lots of cheap bibliophiles out there who have learned as I have that a little bit of patience pays off in the end. I literally have books in my home that I haven't even read that I should get rid of. It's better than a garage sale - this way you don't have to talk to anyone! Ha.

I am thinking about all the books I have down in my parents' basement that I might be able to unload. Even if it's just for a small amount of money. To think of all the cash I have wasted over the years buying books that I've only read once and then discarded...Who knows, perhaps I can fund my electronics habit now! This is an interesting endeavor for sure.
