Books are great to sell on Ebay. Here's why:

• Shipping is easy. Just wrap in a plastic bag (to avoid water damage during shipping), place in a bubble envelope mailer (cheap!), and away she goes!
• Media Mail shipping through the post office is cheaper than first class or similar methods, because the U.S. government wants you to have books!
• There is nothing more satisfying than matching a great book to an interested buyer. The knowledge that some children will be enjoying the book is an added bonus.
• They are usually easy to find at thrift stores and garage sales, because many people buy, read, and get rid of their books! Newer books often sell for only slightly less that their book store counterparts.
• Moms can unload the school book club purchases that turn out to be less interestings than the catalog promised. And the books are fun, educational best sellers in great condition.
• You can dream of finding that one special book that will allow you to retire from the sale proceeds, but that's another guide!
