    Default Just made my first half.com sale!

    I'm so excited! I have several of dd's used textbooks to sell and I listed some last nite and sold one this morning. It's only 7.99 but the used bookstore wouldn't take it back for any amount. I'm thrilled. Now if I can only sell the others and get them out of my hair.

    Alright! I've sold several items on half.com in the past. I had a lot of success selling old textbooks when I was in college that the used bookstore wouldn't take back. Good luck with selling more.

    That's awesome. Congratulations!!! I had a lot of success with selling on Half.com. I live near a major university that has a lot of thrift stores near it. Every so often I visit the thrift stores, buy textbooks that aren't too old and have listed them on Half.com before with great success (remember one in particular not too long ago sold for 80 dollars and I bought it for 50 cents!!)

    Congrats! I've been selling on Half.com for a few years now, and it still always gives me a boost when I actually sell something.

    That is wonderful Lisa. I hope that the rest of them sell soon and you will have extra $$$ in your pocket and extra space in the house.
