What is your "Thanks per Post Average (TPA)" on this Forum?

[auminer]

This thread makes me sad.

What started as a light-hearted query posted in the "off-topic" section has thoroughly devolved into keyboard sparring & hatefulness.

Hatefulness makes me MUCH sadder than mere 'lack of thankfulness' ever could.

Scrap on.

Where do you see the hatefulness ?

I've got to admit, sam, it just sank in to me a little while ago where you've been coming from. I in no way intended my post to be an attack of any sort, most of all not on you personally. It was, and still is, merely observation, not directed at any one person, but observation about the planet we live on, and what's going on here.

As long as you say it wasnt a personal attack, I believe you and no hard feelings Bear.

I thought that I would take this opportunity to share something I have been checking out. It has to do selling books. I will post a separate thread later when I actually send the books in. Here are some book buyers that I have found. I havent really seen anything about this yet on SMF, perhaps I am wrong.

1. Sell Books Online and Sell Back Textbooks At sellbackyourBook.com Shipping is free and I typed in several ISBN #s and I got any where from .25 to 1.50. I currently recycle books for $30/ton instead of paying to dispose but, if I could make .25- $1.50 per book without the hassle of selling them individually that would be great.

2. Amazon.com: Sell Your Books

this is the amazon book trade-in. You get a little bit for each book on the pricelist but, you get amazon credit instead of cash which works with me. I believe the shipping is free as well.


Has anyone tried one of these two options? I know many have tried using the amazon store or ebay to sell individual books but, this seem to be quick and easy way to make a little more without taking too much time away from other jobs.

I've done both, mostly with textbooks, and mostly through amazon. They are pretty quick to deny your book, so make sure it is in very good to immaculate shape. They also don't pay squat unless it is current edition. From my recent Mechanical Engineering degree, I actually made money by buying a used textbook and selling it to Amazon at the end of the semester.
