    Does anyone ever sale your used homeschool books to amazon? I have a few secular text books that I don't need anymore and was wondering if it is worth the trouble to sale them to amazon.. any thoughts?

    I've sold a lot of books on Amazon.

    It's only really "worth it" if you can charge $2 or over - so "mass market" paperbacks don't normally do well. Usually, there are book sellers out there that list their items a .01 and make money off the shipping (because Amazon will credit you $3.99 for shipping, but shipping USUALLY costs less at media mail rates).

    My usually m.o. is if there are less than 10 used for sale, I'll list it, and I try to beat the lowest price by about 50 cents if I can. I've done well.

    If there's more than 10 used, I rarely sell it, even if I am the cheapest price.
