I've had a Half.com bookstore for many years. It was a fun hobby, and it made me a little money on the side. However, over the past couple of years, half.com (and the eBay family in general) has become much less friendly to the low-stock seller, as they focus more and more on sellers who are making real businesses out of the service. My own stock is being trampled by legions of under-cutters and mass sellers. It's just not as fun of a hobby as it used to be.
Therefore, I'm closing my bookstore. I'm going to keep some of the expensive textbooks up there, but I'm no longer going to spend my time hunting through garage sales looking for neat books to sell, and I'm no longer going to store an inventory of books in my house. I'd like to sell off as much as I can before the end of January, when I'll just sell the rest of the books as a single lot. To this end I've lowered a lot of the prices on my books. Many of them down to the minimum allowed by half.com ($.75+shipping).
I figured I'd give you guys a heads-up about my 'going out of bussiness sale' :)
