ebookdrop . . .

December 15th, 2005 at 06:22 am

So, motivated by another poster I decided to check out ebookdrop. Between my boyfriend and myself we have TONS of books. Seriously, four floor-to-ceiling Ikea style bookshelves. So, yeah, we don't really need all of these books. Some are ones we want to keep, but I went through and checked the ISBN for a bunch of those "never really liked it" or "will never read it again" type books. Four of them are "wanted" and will be shipped tomorrow . . . total $6.82! I'm very excited.

I've always though about bringing some of the books into a used book store or listing on ebay, but just never was motivated. I guess ebay was just to intimidating (seemed like to much work for such a small profit in this case) and I didn't really want to lug a big bag of books on the bus just to find out some used book store didn't want them (most of these books were bought at a used book store anyway).

I must have entered about 30 ISBN numbers, hopefully some of those will be in demand in the future. I'm excited to see how easy the process is. I have the label printed and the books set aside. My work is always getting shipments, so hopefully I should be able to find a box that'll fit them well. If not, I can always wait a couple days for more boxes to come in Smile It works out especially well since I have to walk down to the post office anyway to mail out Christmas packages.

    That's great. The only thing about ebookdrop: don't hold your breath waiting for the payment. The mailing label is for media mail, so by the time you mail it, and they get it and process it, it takes about 3 weeks to get paid. (They do pay, though...I've had several successful transactions with them). Congrats!

    Just wondering if you ever got paid for your books? I sent mine off a month ago, and still haven't been paid.
