Sell a Book with Amazon Marketplace
Amazon will list your used items alongside the new version of the same item in their catalog. You can become your own book vendor in a few steps.
The easiest way to see how Marketplace works is to sell one of your books. Find the book’s standard product detail page by searching for its title or directly entering its ASIN number [Hack #1] in the search form on the front page. Once there, look for a box on the lefthand side of the page that says “More Buying Choices.” Click “Sell Yours Here,” and the listing process will begin.
Tip
Not sure which books to sell? Amazon provides a list of all the books you’ve purchased (or books you’ve told Amazon you own) along with their estimated Marketplace values. Visit the Sell Your Collection page (http://amazon.com/o/tg/stores/static/-/used/sell-your-collection/1/) to see how much money you could get for books you own.
There are a few quick steps to the listing process: selecting and describing the condition, setting the price and shipping information, and creating your Marketplace account.
Select the Condition
A drop-down menu lets you list your books as “New,” “Used,” or “Collectible.” Books listed as “New” should be in perfect condition; “Used” books can have damage in different degrees; and “Collectible” should be signed or unique in some way. For a complete guide to Amazon’s book-condition terminology, see their “Condition Guidelines” (http://www.amazon.com/o/tg/browse/-/1161242/).
