Making Money: Half.com Part 2
By Molly's Brother | August 31, 2006
I promised I’d provide an update to everyone on my Half.com experience. Well, on Monday, I listed a total of 44 books. As of six o’clock today, I’ve made 16 sales with a grand total of just over $50. (Trust me when I say that the employees of the West Hollywood US Post Office were none too happy to see me walk in at 5:59 PM with two paper bags filled with 16 manilla envelopes.)
Surprsingly, my timing paid off as most of the higher priced books were actually old books that I read for college courses almost a decade ago. Turns out that many students are still reading these same books. Interesting to note, half of my sales have been sent to college students across the country. Totally unexpected.
So far so good. But to be quite honest, it’s been too easy so far. As always, I’m waiting for that other shoe to drop…

Selling on Half.com is that easy. I wouldn’t worry too much. In all the sellign on Half and Amazon that I have done, I have only had a couple issues and those really fell on the postal service.
