This weekend I listed some books on eBay and Etsy.

On eBay, I listed Christopher Pike books and Nancy Drew German and Icelandic editions, plus some other assorted books. On Etsy, I listed some Judy Bolton and Nancy Drew books.
My books are in a state of disorganization again. This photo shows some of my eBay books with most of the books I just listed laying scattered around.
If I can get some books to sell, then I will straighten up.
What's interesting is that since I reopened in October, I've had 12 transactions on Etsy and 14 transactions on eBay. I do consider the sales rate to be low on both sites, but it's much worse on eBay. My sales rate on eBay should be a good bit higher since I have more listings on eBay and eBay has higher traffic. This just isn't a great time to be selling.
I reduced the prices of over 100 books on eBay and around 40 books on Etsy. I also removed some listings and placed those books in a few bulk lots.
I have quit buying books since I don't want the books to pile up. I decided not to purchase several good bulk lots that I normally would have purchased.
Earlier today I wanted to list some more books. The trouble is that most of my unlisted extras are duplicates of what I have up for sale. Some books need to sell before I can list those unlisted extras. So, I'm at a stalemate.
I then suddenly remembered the Trixie Belden Goldencraft books that I decided to remove from my collection. I had forgotten about them because they weren't visible. I realized that I had boxed them and some other books up. I couldn't remember what else I boxed up. I went out to the garage to check.
Ah, yes. I have a bunch of Nancy Drew Flashlight library editions and Econo-Clad library editions that I need to get listed in addition to the Trixie Belden Goldencraft books.
On the Trixie Belden Goldencraft books, I will not be selling them at low prices. That was a very difficult set to build, and the books were not inexpensive. They will go up at fixed prices and at whatever I decide is fair. The price is usually determined by what I paid for the book plus what my eBay fees will be.
I expect I will work on listing all of the library editions in the next few days.
