selling books to the internet

That's a good idea. I felt overwhelmed by both the idea of doing a garage sale and of trying to sell them one at a time on Amazon (or eBay for that matter), so once I had finished the "immediate cash" thing of schlepping bags of books in good condition to the used bookstores around here I was really happy to find that Powell's Books will buy them online. (and they pay for the shipping!) It's only store credit, but there are always more books I want to buy with that anyway ;)

who has downsized everything in life, including the book collection, I want to point out that you can sell books in good condition on Amazon for considerably more than you'd get selling them at a garage sale. At a time when many people are looking for ways to earn a little extra to cover the rising cost of gas and food, a large book collection is worth money.

Find your book on Amazon and click the button that says Sell Yours Here. You set up an account and start selling.
