Hello everyone. I recently am in the position that I have to unload a 100+ books, mostly graphic novels and art books but others also like Clive Barker, Steven King etc.... I started out on ebay when they were new and then moved to Ruby Lane where I had a shop for several years. I retired from selling 6 years back except an occasional sell. So anyway.
I see there are new things to think about when selling books. The owner of these books was very careful with his books, most are in like new or new condition. So my questions. I see I have to list the ISBN number. Would scanning that bar work for peoples smart phones? I don't own one of those fancy phones so don't know if that would work or not. It is did it would be a lot easier just putting a picture up of the bar scan.
Next. What is the perfect packing method. I just got a book on line the other day and it arrived in a bubble back envelope in great condition. Is this how most send their books? I have some large art table books though that would need to be boxed.
I am not in a real hurry to rid myself of the books so have time to let them sit if I have to. How do you all figure out pricing? I really don't feel like opening a shop and paying the fee until I see if I get any nibbles.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
