Books For Sale

Time to do some shilling. — Back in the heady days of our college career, both my wife and I worked in bookstores. Rival bookstores across the street from one another, not the same one. Anyway, during that time, we both collected many tomes, tract, & treatises.  So many, that when we bought our house, we specifically looked for one with an extra room to be our library.

Jump ahead ten years and two children later, and the books have become dusty and unread.  They seemed to be a snap shot of our life years ago.  They also seemed to be taking up a lot of space.  Space that was needed for the kids and their ever growing pile of junk,  Sorry, I mean toys.

So, we decided to sort through the books, weed out much of the dead wood, keep what we loved, and sell the rest.  So for the past 14 months, we have been selling our books on Half.com, a sister site of eBay.  Every week, I wrap up a selection of titles and send them onto their new homes.  We’ve done pretty good too.  We have made enough to refurbish the library, or as we now call it, the “play room”.  We also collected enough coins to take a family trip during the holidays (stayed at a fancy inn even!).  Plus, I have been able to pay some bills too.

We started out with about 3000 books for sale.  We now have about 650 left.  And the sales have started to drop off.  And that is why I am writing about this now.  In the hopes to spark sales.  So, if your a bibliophile like we are, please take a look at my Half.com page.   I have 100% positive feedback on eBay/Half, so you can be assured you will be getting a good book, quickly, and at a good price.  Please take a look!  I greatly appreciate your business!
