Really need some money for Gulf War

Post by Brennus »

OK here is the thing I need some money for Gulf War and it seems like everyone has stopped buying books. Since I make mmy living selling them (I also sell video games, movies etc) I am having a little bit of a problem getting up enough money for the war especially if my taxes dont get back to me in time. Anyway here is how I am trying to make some money.

These are the books/videos/games etc I have for sale

If someone is beating me on thier price at amazon just tell me I'll beat it probably. :)

I also sell heraldric plates but I have to get the url for the pictures and Armourarchive@home isn't working for me right now.

The plates run about 20 dollars per plate depending on how intricate your heraldry is. I'll post examples soon as I can.

Is there any way to sort by subject? Like just see what Medieval or Dark Age books you might have? I'm *always* buying books. :)

I dont think so. Amazon is a bitch when it comes to helping their sellers. However there are quite alot of medieval contant books on the list. Having over 700 books online alone i can't think of exactly whicxh ones but I have some of the Osprey books online a few armour books, alot of history etc. Best thing to do is put up as many at a time as you can and browse down. Sorry thats the best i can tell you :(

Yes, just make me a list and I'll sell them direct through paypal. Here is the rub, in a way. For example I have many books listed at 1 cent. I actually make a dollar for those books selling them on amazon. Amazon has it set up where the seller makes about one dollar on each book by overcharging for shipping. What that means is that every book have in stock is one dollar more expensive if I sell it off amazon. So factor in an extra dollar on each book and i will charge you the exact shipping rather than the overpriced Amazon shipping.

Without the amazon shipping that would be 16.98. I would make about 8 dollars more with the amazon shipping overcharge however since your on here lets say I'll sell them all for 20.00 plus 4 dollars shipping. 24.00 total..
I discounted the osprey book to the lower price
