Heck, I have fifteen books listed so far and not one of them was reserved or has been requested yet. So I would consider a few reserves already to mean you were reading some pretty good/or at least popular stuff. 
Heh. I’ve sold two from my list so far:
- The old version of “On Food and Cooking” by Harold McGee (I bought the new version a few months ago)
- “Postcards from the Pug Bus” - a badly written book of pug stories.
So much for “good” or “popular”!
I posted 10 yesterday and 8 have been reserved. I mailed out three today and confirmed with the post office that the postage listed on the printable mailers was correct. (I was a bit concerned about the condition of few of the books I wanted to list and not sure if they were up to PBS’s standards so I just held those ones back and gave them away on my journal.)
So far so good! My husband was thrilled I was getting rid of some of my books. Little does he know…
I told my husband this as well, because eventually I’m going to lose my library and will need to downsize quite a bit in the book department.
That’s why I do box-o-books on the site. Sometimes I give people awesome deals of 10 books for 1 credit. This results in getting rid of some of my books without adding too much to my collection. (I got rid of 70+ Destroyer paperbacks in one fell swoop through box-o-books–there was no way I wanted to wait for them to slowly trickle away when I was never going to read them again.)
Now I have a bunch of credits and have to carefully choose how to use them so that I am still meeting my ultimate goal of less books.
ETA: This thread reminded me to list some more books over the weekend and I got rid of 15 more!
Man, that Book Bazzar forum on there is like heaven.
Check it out if you haven’t already.
Dunno if you’re still keeping up with this thread, Sleeps With Butterflies, but I was wondering what your bad Bookmooch experience was. I’ve been using Bookmooch for several months now and it has gone pretty smoothly. I may have to check out paperbackswap, though!
