For anyone that is unfamilar with this site, it is a great way to make a little extra money with little effort and cost. Basically, you list any books that you might want to sell and when they sell, half.com earns a small commission. They also take care of adding in shipping fees, etc...to the sale. We have been doing it for some time and once the books are listed, there is little work. We make anywhere from $30 (on a month where we don't try too hard) to $500 (on a month where we list a lot of new inventory) I highly recommend it if you have any extra books laying around.

If you don't mind, I would love to give you a link. I will answer any and all questions. They have a set postage and it automatically is figured onto the sale. They do all kinds of books plus some other items...mostly just type in the ISBN and you are set...very easy....If you are already an ebay member, use the same information and if not the link is simply: www.half.com

Don't forget that Half.com is a part of Ebay, so many of the rules that apply to Ebay will probably apply there also. It is a good place to shop but I don't think it is any better than Amazon or similar stores, like Cheapbooks, Amazon, and other sites that handle used books.
