    Does anyone sell their used quilt books on amazon.com and if so do you like it?

    I am trying to de-stash a whole lot of books and wondering it amazon is a good way.

    It is easy to sell here. you may want to group some similar items if you have alot to sell.

    I have sold books on both Half.com and Amazon, they are both easy to do. You may find some books are only worth a few cents online however. People on the QB will pay more than that as they value the books for what is in them.
    It is very easy to see what they are selling for. On the back of the book with the bar code is an ISBN number. Just type that into the search bar at the top of the Amazon page and the product page will come up. PM me if you have any questions.
