Recently, I had a lot of books to sell. I found that craigslist – while a great resource, is not very well suited to buying and selling of books.
If you list your books on amazon, they will sell fast – provided you are offering the lowest price, but after deducting your shipping expenses, amazon commission, plus your time investment, you may just be a little burned out.
Thus, came the idea of http://www.bookmine.net. Think of it as an improved craigslist for books. Using the website is easy:

If you want to buy a book, just enter book title and your zip code (known as postal code in many other countries), and it will show you all sellers who want to sell the book within your zip code.

If you want to sell a book, just enter book details, your asking price, and your contact info. You can create an account if you have many books to sell – that way you won’t have to enter your contact info again and again.

I am hoping that this website is especially helpful for sellers who don’t wanna get ripped off by amzn or hpb.

A word about browser support: If you don’t know what a web browser is, just remember that the website is best viewed in Chrome, and skip this paragraph. I don’t intend to make sure that this website runs on every version of every browser out there. For better or worse, I have decided to stick with Chrome and will ensure that the website will work with latest version of Chrome. Thus, if you find that something is broken or doesn’t work, please try the website on Chrome, and if you still encounter problem(s), email them to me via the feedback link.

The idea for this website was conceived on 6/17/11

Thanks for reading.
