Some of these eBay purchased books are from the 50′s and 70′s. I’m now interested in finding out how to tell better if they are public domain property; so I can copy them and put them into Kindle format to sell that way. That will be job over the weekend.

I’ve begun getting some of the items from Ernest’s estate ready for sale. Here’s a page I made to sell his used CPAP machine. The page will stay until it’s sold. If anyone needs one of those the price is right.

It was pretty cool to get that email telling me to ship one of them late last night. I have a pile more books to get busy and list now. When I finish listing what’s in the house, I’ll begin scouting thrift stores and garage sales.

Maybe by then I’ll know what kind of books are in demand and which sell for a nice price. People selling penny books on Amazon are not making any money at all. I’m not sure why they are doing that.

The book I sold was $4 with $3.99 shipping. Amazon took their commission from that: $2.94 and sent my payment account $5.05. From that I had to pay for shipping and handling (package and gasoline). Postage for this book was $2.93; so I grossed $2.12 for that sold book (not considering my tape and gasoline). Of course it would be smart to have 10 sold books to carry in one trip to the PO. This thing just has to get rolling now.
