Some of you may already know that I'm an Amazon marketplace seller. I sell used books--and a few new ones--on Amazon through my seller account. I'm not making a ton of money but I enjoy it. I started doing this because I 'd often look on Amazon when a book interested me to see if I could get it for less from one of their used book sellers (who also sell new books and books in excellent but "used" condition). During a conversation with my sister, Amy, we talked about books and she mentioned that she was selling books and a few CDs on Amazon, and told me it was easy to set up an account. I decided to give it a try. Ten minutes later I became a bookseller! It has been a real joy to sell books online. Amazon has a terrific system and after over a year as a seller, I haven't had any problems (knock on wood, even though I'm not superstitious). I love packaging up the books neatly and sending them all over the country. When I received notice of my first sale by email, I was excited. The first book I sold went to a customer named Tina Turner. I don't think she was the famous singer, but who knows? Probably not, though. Some people share names with celebrities. I actually know a Janet Jackson and a Ricki Martin who live nearby. I'm not kidding. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
