Is it worth it to sell books on Bonz?

With sellers on Amazon selling for as little as one cent and Kindle having free books available, it is not very worth it to try to sell books. I put very old books in my other booth sometimes, as there a few people who like them, but make a sale about once a year. I take my used mystery books, which I get at the library book sale back to the library. I think of it as a 50 cent rental. They make money to buy new things for the library. The same with CDs and old video games. Not worth my time to try to sell them.

Are these books rare or vintage, what language, is the author notable?
There are many books not available in US.
Is the shipping rate for hardbacks? Selling in a group might reduce shipping considerably.
It costs nothing to list here, why not try.
And promote to the Book Collectors and clubs

Only 1 comment…seems to me MORE Sellers need to JOIN the Events that take place in Bonanza, like last July there was ‘’Christmas in July’’ where Sellers Sign Up to Participate in that, and Buyers become AWARE that This Bonanza is Really a TIGHT KNIT Community of Sellers Helping Sellers, and it gives a Buyer CONFIDENCE that we have CONFIDENCE in one another and in Bonanza, therefore, too…
…like right now Sign Ups are going on for Renfaire or Bonanza’s 4th Annual Renaissance Faire ~ an Event that consist of Signed Up Sellers (and like Christmas in July, ANY Seller can Sign Up and Join this Event!)…who will be Promoted not only in Bonanza Promo Forum, but in Blogs, in Twitter, on Facebook, in Pinterest, in Web Sites/Pages, and so it goes…many OUTSIDE Promotions take place with these types of ‘’Participating Sellers’ Events’’…
The ’’theory’’ behind these events is pretty much of Sellers HELPING Sellers to Actually Sell by being MORE Exposed to the BUYERS ‘’out there!’’
I would encourage you or ANY Individual Seller or Booth to Join those types of events OFTEN, as these are FREE to Join, just Sign Up, and Follow the Rules of Each Event, which is EASY PEASY to Do!

’k, off my soapbox, now about how to BETTER Sell…here in Bonanza!

LuckBlessings Be Yours, Everyone!

It is certainly a booth loved by those who enjoy reading. Well worth the time and effort.

90% of my listings are free shipping; when combining for multiple purchases, I will calculate the shipping and then refund the difference for what I calculated per book. I also set mine up at OBO. Negotiating is fun!

Wow, I checked this thread the other day and there were no replies and now there are some really great answers here! Thank you so much everyone.

I still haven’t made up my mind yet as to whether or not to sell some books here – they’re all in english, not vintage, nothing special- fiction books you can still buy on amazon – so it’s kind of a hard decision as to whether or not I want to waste some time putting them up…. thank you for all your answers!

I think the OP would have a harder time because she is in Israel. International Shipping is very high, and of course, anything over four pounds, if it were shipped from the US to her location would be Priority Rate and very high. I’m not sure if the same applies from Israel to the US.

OP, you may want to consider the high cost of shipping because you are out of the US.
